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 first set of regulatory measures were legally enacted in the first quarter of 2025.”
- “On 5 April 2025, the US introduced a universal 10% tariff on all imports, including those from the UK. As a digital business, the Company is not currently affected, and the Director believes that the Company is taking all the necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Company and the development of its business in the current business and economic environment.”
