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
- “Risks and uncertainties related to the development and use of AI, including advanced AI, could harm our business, damage our reputation or give rise to legal or regulatory action.”
- “The Company has received claims for an employment tribunal lodged in 2024. The Company denies liability, is fully contesting the claims, and is defending the action. The case remains ongoing, and the Tribunal date has been postponed by the court to the next financial year. Accordingly, the matter is still to be resolved. The potential undiscounted amount of the total payments that the Company could be required to make, if there was an adverse decision related to the claim, is estimated to be £375,545 (2024: £375,545).”
