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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the company will continue to trade. The assumption is based upon consideration of the company's prospects having regard to prevailing market conditions, industry trends, forecasts and budgets, and borrowing facilities. The company has been trading in their overdraft and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The company has good relations with the bank and it is expected that these borrowing facilities will not be withdrawn. Having taken the steps detailed above the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
