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 therefore prepared forecasts including projected cash flows for twelve months from the date of their approval of these financial statements. These forecasts indicate that with the cash injections by way of deferred loans from the majority shareholder, that the group will be able to meet its working capital requirements through its existing facilities. Mr John Harvey, the majority shareholder continues to support the group with working capital funding as and when needed to ensure the group remains within its current banking facilities. With the restructure of the group that has taken place in 2025, the group is forecast to return to profitability in 2026.”
