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 Group continues to invest in its property portfolio with the acquisition of another property. This was financed partly by a new mortgage and partly by existing cash resources. This has increased the interest charges payable by the Group.”
- “During the year, a subsidiary of the group breached financial covenants associated with its loan facilities. As a result, the outstanding loan balances of £1,975,573 have been reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities, since the lender has the contractual right to demand immediate repayment.”
