“After considering the profitability and cash flow forecasts, including significant but plausible downside sensitivities applied to turnover and profitability, the Directors have concluded that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period, to 30 September 2026. Based on this undertaking the Directors believe that it remains 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
