“The directors consider that given the good level of headroom in financing facilities that the company and its group are in a strong position to overcome the challenges that may arise over the coming months. The directors have prepared projections covering the period to 31 August 2027 which show that the company and the wider group should have sufficient headroom in its existing facilities. Therefore the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
