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

- “Following the period end, the company raised £40m in capital from its parent comapany to pursue an opportunity to acquire Argentex Group Plc. The conditional acquisition was announced on 25 April 2025 and was structured as a scheme of arrangement. In connection with its offer, the company provided a bridge financing and revolving credit facility to Argentex Group Plc in the aggregate sum of £34m. The facility is secured, and such security includes fixed and floating charges over the chargors' assets. On 24 July 2025, Argentex Group Pic went into administration. With the consent of the Takeover Panel, the company invoked certain conditions to its offer, resulting in the offer lapsing. The company is liaising with the administrators in order maximise its recovery as a creditor.”
