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

“As outlined in the business review on page 1 the company has delivered a strong year of financial performance, following the commercial and operational challenges of the prior two years. As a result of the strategy adopted in the year under review, significant growth has been realised in turnover, gross profit, and profit before tax, ultimately leading to a 150% increase in the net asset position. This new level of financial performance has set the benchmark for future years, giving the directors both comfort and belief that the 5-year plan can be achieved. The directors set the company's budget for the March 2026 year at a level higher than the original 5-year plan, given the overperformance of the March 2025 year and strong pipeline of work for the short to medium term. At the time of signing these accounts, turnover was 12% higher and profit before tax was 40% higher than the same period last year. Specifically, the directors have reviewed the forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of these financial statements, concluding that the company will have sufficient trading performance to support consistent profitability and cash generation for at least the next year. With reference to the above, the directors are satisfied that it remains appropriate for the company to prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis”
