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 prepared a detailed business plan and rolling cash flow forecasts. On this basis the directors have concluded that the company will be comfortably able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and hence it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements. The cash position of Marine Power Systems Ltd provides adequate runway for the company to continue its principal activities for over 24 months.”
