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 believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue trading for the foreseeable future. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in note 3(a) on page 24 in the statement of accounting policies. In addition to this, the Company has a large amount of cash reserves and has continued to be profitable throughout the events of recent years and therefore the directors are confident that the Company is still a going concern.”
