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

Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

- “...completed its revamped branch network during the year, opening state of the art sites in the Midlands and the North-West, the Midlands enjoying 30% growth in the year.”
- “The Company's position is further strengthened by its success in renewing key customers' sole supply agreements and a range of strategic wins.”
- “The Company's work on the development of a new ERP system has progressed well through test phases, and at the time of these accounts being signed, is weeks away from becoming operational.”
