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

“Having performed the analysis set out above, management believes the Group and Company will continue to meet the regulatory capital requirements and have sufficient liquidity to meet their liabilities for a period of 18 months to 30 June 2026. On this basis, the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis remains appropriate as the Group expects to be able to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future.”
