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 Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its operations and where necessary the support of the parent company. The Directors have obtained written confirmation of support from the Company's parent, Rocket Software Inc and on the basis of this support consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This support from Rocket Software Inc will remain in place for the foreseeable future and will not be withdrawn during the period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The Company's forecasts and projections, prepared until the 31st December 2027, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate profitably for the foreseeable future. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
