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 of the company have received a letter of support from the controlling entity, Together Group Holdings Plc, which confirms that it will provide financial support to the company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements if it were necessary. Accordingly, the directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis, notwithstanding the fact that the company has a deficiency on total equity at the end of the year, having assessed that the Group and the company, have a reasonable expectation of continuing to settle liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company's assets have been secured against bank borrowings of a group undertaking. The company is a cross guarantor for borrowings of a group undertaking. The balance at the period end was $55,000,000.”
