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 director is responsible for preparing financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the company will continue in business. The directors believe the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite uncertain economic outlook, having adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the future. Auditors concluded the director's use of the going concern basis is appropriate and found no material uncertainties.”
