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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have reviewed the performance of the company, and budgets and forecasts have been prepared for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Consequently the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meets its liabilities as they fall due and have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
