“The directors, having assessed the responses of the directors of the Company's ultimate parent, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, to their enquiries have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Group to continue as a going concern or its ability to continue with the current banking arrangements. The directors have sought and received a confirmation from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company that it will provide all financial support necessary for the next 12 months from the signing of the financial statements.”

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
