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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In forming this assessment, the directors have considered current trading, projected performance, cashflow forecasts, and the Company's strong balance sheet and cash position. Based on this review, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and to meet obligations as they fall due.”
