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 Company is therefore reliant upon the support of its ultimate parent company, Robert Bosch GmbH and has received a letter from Robert Bosch GmbH confirming it will provide the financial support necessary for the Company to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements up to an amount of £13 million. The directors have assessed the ability of Robert Bosch GmbH to provide such support based on its latest available financial position and financial performance and no concerns were identified. Detailed business and cash flow forecasts have been prepared for the Company which include assumptions on invoicing and payment under the intragroup agreements, the rate of headcount growth and the level of third-party expenditure required. These forecasts show that the company will be able to settle its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus, the Directors have considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation in these financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
