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
- “During the 2023 year end, the parent company was subject to a bank fraud, which resulted in a write off to the group profit and loss account of £1,059,105, which was included in exceptional costs. As at the date of approval of the financial statements, legal proceedings were ongoing in relation to the fraud. The outcome of the proceedings is still uncertain and therefore no contingent assets has been recognised in respect of the potential recovery of some or all of the lost funds.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
