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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate due to having sufficient resources and support to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months following the date of signing these financial statements. The group's forecasts and projections, taking account of possible changes in trading performance, show that the company can operate within the facilities available to it. On this basis the directors are confident that the group has adequate resources to continue in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
