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

“Having regard to the factors noted above, in particular the support available from the Company's ultimate parent, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have satisfied themselves that the parent is in a position to provide the stated support. As a result, the directors believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
