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 directors have prepared forecasts and cash flow projections for a period extending at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts demonstrate that the company is expected to operate within its available financing facilities and maintain adequate liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Subsequent to the year end, the company completed a refinancing exercise, entering into new commercial banking facilities with Santander UK plc, which replaced its previous arrangements. The new facilities provide additional headroom and flexibility to support the company's ongoing operations and growth plans. The forecasts have been subject to stress testing to assess the impact of reasonably possible downside scenarios. The directors are satisfied that, even under such scenarios, the company would retain sufficient liquidity and covenant headroom. At 28th February 2025 and throughout the period to the date of approval of these financial statements, the company remained in compliance with its bank covenants and maintained adequate headroom within its available facilities. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
