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

Significant events
- “A claim is currently being pursued against the company, and its subsidiaries, MD Warranty Inspection Services Limited and MD Warranty Support Services Limited, by AmTrust Specialty Limited (formerly AmTrust Europe Limited) for various alleged breaches of a delegated underwriting authority agreement pursuant to which, it had delegated authority to the Company to underwrite structural latent defects on its behalf. The claim is currently in the early stages of litigation. Liability is strongly denied by the Company and the claim is being defended by solicitors appointed by the Companies' professional indemnity (PI) insurers. While the outcome of the litigation is uncertain, the claim is not expected to exceed the PI policy limits or impact the going concern of the Company. The case has not yet been listed for trial and, as at the timing of signing these financial statements, is not anticipated to go to trial within the next 12 months.”
