“Having considered all factors noted above, the Directors have confirmed that the Company has adequate resources to continue operating for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed, and none of the above factors give rise to any material uncertainty around the going concern status of the Company, despite the current uncertain economic climate. The Directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of account in preparing 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
