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 Board also has considered the expected future cash flows of the Company and has satisfied itself and considers it appropriate that the Company is a going concern, having adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and has not identified any material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern over the period of assessment.”
