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 at 31 December 2024, the company had net current assets of £7,731K (2023 - £8,849K) and net assets of £5,002K (2023 - £4,969K). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate having received a letter of support from its immediate parent company, Qlar Europe GmbH, indicating it will provide the financial and other support necessary for the company to meet its liabilities as and when they become due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.”
