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

“Whilst the outlook for the economy is uncertain, the group has sufficient financial resources and contracts with a number of customers and suppliers such that the Directors believe the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Interest is charged at 2.09% over Bank of England base rate and the loan is repayable in monthly instalments over 5 years commencing July 2021. The loan is secured on the freehold property of the group.”
