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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

• “In the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company had incorrectly applied the small company exemption under Section 1A of FRS 102, resulting in the omission of a statement of cash flows and related notes. This error has been rectified in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 by including a statement of cash flows and related notes with comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2023.”
