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

“After making due enquiry, and having considered the Group's budget for the coming year and having undertaken appropriate stress testing and sensitivity analyses of future forecasts extending for the period of 12 months from the date on which these financial statements were signed, the Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Company. The Directors have reached this conclusion after considering the Group's strong balance sheet, available short-term credit facilities, its closing order book and the support of its shareholders.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
