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 forecasts have been stress tested in particular with regard to key assumptions around growth and overheads. The analysis performed indicates that there are no reasonably plausible scenarios which would lead to significant deterioration in cash and therefore supports the conclusion that it is appropriate to prepare the company financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
