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 Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development and position are set out in the Strategic report. In assessing whether the financial statements for the Company should be prepared on a going concern basis, the directors have considered the future outlook of the Company. The Company is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows on its own account for the foreseeable future. The Company participates in a shared banking arrangement with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. Cash is provided by the Company to its parent and fellow subsidiaries at the discretion of the directors and management, when the Company's cash forecasts show it has excess cash. The Company is not party to any cross guarantee in respect to the group. The going concern assessment is forecast to 31 December 2026 based upon the Company's mid term plan which extends to 31 March 2031. On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position, the Company's directors believe that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
