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 and to settle its debts as these fall due. In making this assessment, the directors have considered cash flow projections prepared through to December 2026. The directors have confidence the company is well placed to continue to navigate and manage any challenges arising due to the strength of the company's order book and customer relationships. The directors consider the company to have sufficient cash reserves and forecasted resources to protect the business from any potential threats arising, and from other supply chain issues (such as delivery delays and product shortages). Based on the above factors, the directors are satisfied that it remains appropriate for the company to prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis.”
