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 will continue to operate within its funding facilities and meet its obligations as they fall due. Consequently, in preparing these financial statements, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
