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 made an assessment in preparing these financial statements as to whether the Group is a going concern. This includes assessing the Group's working capital forecasts and projections, over a three year period, taking into account its operating market and project activities. Based on this and the existing cash balances compared to committed expenditure, the directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”
