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

This resulted in a profit before tax of £1,082,539, a decrease of £771,716 on the position at 31 May 2024. A large factor in this decrease is the revaluation gain recognised in the prior year of £547,185.”
