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 financial statements are prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption, which assumes that the company will continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In the going concern assessment, the board/management of the company has taken into account both operational and financial aspects and has drawn up a multi-year plan in which the core business processes, and their continuity are closely monitored.”
Significant events
- “The geopolitical situation is prolonging the uncertainty and cost changes happen daily which makes the market very nervous but there was no disruption to supply.”
