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

The company is a member of a group headed by Veeco Instruments Inc, which can provide it with financial support if necessary. Therefore the company's director has reasonable expectations that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
