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

- “Our new helium free Small Animal MRI has resonated well with the industry and a record number of orders taken in the year.”
- “During the year the Group put in place the ability to manufacture all products in the UK which it successfully concluded in Q4. Previous products from China into the US will now have no tariff payable and therefore improve further the competitiveness of the Group.”
