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 detailed financial forecasts that cover 12 months from the date of authorising these financial statements ("the forecasts") which reflect their plans and expectations of cash flows for this period. As is inherent in all forecasts, there is no certainty over the timing or quantum of the projected cashflows. These forecasts demonstrate the business can settle its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of authorising these financial statements.”
