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

“We have forecasted to the end of this year a profit for the group of under £1m based on the aircraft we have in house, the first quarter has been down in sales, however we have quite a lot of forward bookings which is slightly different from previous years. Although the business continues to operate with a healthy cashflow, we do tend to have a bottleneck”
