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 group has made a loss in the period, however, they have cash reserves of £6.03 million held at the balance sheet date and have sufficient cash reserves at the date of signing. Working capital continues to be tightly managed and the directors have the ability to minimise discretional spend if required. Based on this, the directors have reasonable expectations that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence to to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. On this basis, the directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
