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

In making this assessment the directors have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future considerations, including future projections of profitability, cash flows, capital reserves and the ability of the Company to service its debt and meet its related financial covenants. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
