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

- “In January 2024 one of our largest clients, Jankel Armoring Ltd, entered administration which has had a severe impact on these accounts and our current year moving forward.”
- “Since the reporting date the group has undergone a reconstruction, with all shareholders exchanging their holdings in the company for shares in a new company, Lund Bros Group Ltd. As a result, Lund Bros Group Ltd has become the parent company of Chatsworth Forge Group Limited, and the ultimate parent company of that company's subsidiaries.”
