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

“At 30 September 2024 the Company had net assets of £1,504,000 (2023: £1,298,000 (restated)). The directors have carried out a review of the company's financial position for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and received a letter of support from its parent company. Cabot Corporation Inc. The company has additional support should it be required from Cabot Corporation Inc. which is supported through a letter of support, which has provided an acknowledgement whereby any amounts due to Cabot Corporation Inc. or its subsidiaries within the group will not be recalled for repayment until a time when sufficient funds are available. Cabot Corporation Inc. monitors the company's financial situation on an ongoing basis and may take actions to refinance or other actions to financially support this wholly owned subsidiary if required in the future. Accordingly, the going concern basis adopted for the preparation of the financial statements is considered appropriate.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
