“The Company generated a net profit of £15,345,000 (2023: net profit £11,969,000), has net assets of £77,407,000 (2023: net assets of £62,062,000) and current assets of the Company exceeded its current liabilities by £64,353,000 (2023: £49,008,000). Trading profits are expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Therefore, after making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

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
