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 company had net current liabilities of £3,000,738 (2023: £4,614,265) and made a loss for the year of £99,823 (2023: £936,418). It is reliant on continued support from its intermediary parent. Directors affirm going concern for 12 months from signing, based on forecasts and a letter of intent from ultimate parent Noble JV S.a.r.l. confirming no recall of intercompany balances, ensuring sufficient cash.”
