Going concern
Affirmed

“The company has adequate financial resources, including contracts with a number of large, established customers in the UK and suppliers across different geographic areas. The company has no bank debt, and as a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries and reviewing financial profit forecasts and cash flow projections for the next 12 months the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, as the directors believe that the business has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

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
