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

“While the economic outlook continues to be uncertain, the Company remains well capitalised with net assets in excess of £88m (2023: £81m). The Company has diverse investments across multiple sectors and geographies, whilst deriving its income from a wide range of sources. These include shares in some of the world's leading companies, directly held property assets, and other alternative investments. The company is funded by a loan of £36.2m from its parent undertaking (2023: £36.7m). The parent company has confirmed that it will not seek repayment of the loan for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, unless the company has sufficient cash resources available. Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
