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 group was able to demonstrate its ability to successfully deliver goods and services during 2024. The group's 2024 results show comparable performance to 2023 despite complex trading conditions both domestically and worldwide. In preparing the financial statements the directors have considered the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period including 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements to inform their decisions. The directors also prepared detailed forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and has undertaken a reverse stress test to ensure all liabilities can be met as they fall due. On review of management's assessment and the scenario-based forecasts, the directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and for at least one year from the approval date of the financial statements. Therefore, the directars believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
