“The company's facilities management contract with the University of Greenwich will expire in September 2026 when its principal activities will cease. The hand-back process commenced in 2025 and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the contract term. Following completion of the hand-back, the company will no longer earn revenue and will not retain any direct liabilities. The company is expected to become dormant thereafter; therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
