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 directors have reviewed current trading, along with those forecasts, and have concluded that the business has sufficient funds to trade for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to trade for the foreseeable future being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and will be able to meet its debts as they fall due.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
