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

“The Directors have considered the forecasts of company revenue and cash flows covering the period to 31 July 2027. This has included assessing the financial risks and uncertainties surrounding the geopolitical situation. With most of our revenue being contractual and recurring, the Directors do not consider these forecasts to be particularly sensitive. Having considered the sensitivities of the forecasts and the risks and uncertainties faced, the Directors confirm that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
