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 carefully reviewed the future prospects of the Group and Company and have prepared financial projections and cashflow forecasts. The Group and Company have continued to increase trading revenues post year end. The conclusion of a fund raise within the year provides the Group with further funds to support growth and expansion. Having reviewed their forecast and concluded their assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being at least the next 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. For this reason the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements.”
