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
- “Several large residential projects reached completion during the year, and the company took proactive steps to rationalise operations in response to industry conditions.”
- “During the year an incident occurred which may result in a fine being levied on the company. At the reporting date, it is impracticable to estimate the financial effect with sufficient reliability, and the timing or amount of any potential outflows remain uncertain, therefore no provision has been recognised in the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
