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 a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of signing and approving these financial statements. In making this assessment the Directors considered the cashflow forecasts of the company, the company's cost base and support from the ultimate parent company. The Company has the continued financial support of Skillsoft Corporation for a period of not less than 12 months from the signing of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
