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

“After reviewing Ashworth Europe Limited's latest management information, forecasts and making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, meeting its liabilities as they fall due. In addition, cash forecasts remain strong over the 12 months following the date of approval of the financial statements, and therefore the directors adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
