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

“Based on the results for the year, the year-end financial position and the approved budget for the forthcoming year, the director believes that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future. The director of the Company has also received written assurances from its immediate parent company, Windcave Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand, and that it will continue to provide adequate financial support to the Company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements to enable the Company to discharge its financial obligations to all creditors as they fall due. On this basis, the director is satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
