Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Affirmed
“The Directors have considered the Company's financial position, operational performance and cash flow forecasts, including management's initiatives to accelerate the path to profitability and strengthen the cash runway. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Revenues in the financial year were £17.8m (2024 - £21.0m). Transaction payment volumes at the end of the financial year increased significantly to about 324.0m transactions per month in line with customer live dates (2024 - 104.0m), further significant increases are expected as more customers are transferring their payment processing to Form3.”
