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

As a result, the Group's and parent LLP's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group and parent LLP will be able to operate within the level of its facilities and in compliance with all covenants for a forecast period of at least 12 months from the approval date of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Group and parent LLP continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
