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. The company is expected to continue to generate positive operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position, the company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern assumption as a basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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
