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 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons: The Company continues to trade profitably and based on the latest results for the current year it continues to grow. Profit margins for the current year are aligned with the established targets, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue through 2025, as well as in the projected budget for the 2026-2030 period.”
