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 considered the future cash flows of the company and, using conservative estimates for revenue, and on the basis of sources of funding available, have concluded that the company is in a position to meet its debts as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
