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 the financial statements on the going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company and Group will have sufficient funds through cash balances, operating cash flow and loan facilities to meet its' liabilities as they fall due for that period. The forecasts prepared also demonstrate that after reasonable, controllable management mitigating actions the Group continues to meet all banking covenants and key ratings metrics.”
