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 assessed, based on current projections, that the company has adequate resources to meet the ongoing costs of the business for a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The directors have assessed that the funds available and the actions and strategies available to them to mitigate business threats under stress testing and under other scenarios reviewed, the forecasts demonstrated that the company could operate within its available funding. Therefore, as there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, the directors have concluded this does not represent a material uncertainty with regards to going concern.”
