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
- “The year ended 31 May 2025 was a very good year. 2024/25 was the year that Blink Animation was subsumed into Blink industries and was not included in the consolidated results for the year ended 31 December 2024. The very successful Blinkink animation brand contributed approximately 9 months of trading to Blink Industries year which explains the considerable uplift in Blink Industries revenues. This is a simplification, a streamlining and cultural realignment for the Group, bringing short form and long form closer together. James Stevenson Bretton became CEO of the combined business, and the management team was strengthened with the addition of a CFO/COO and Head of Operations.”
