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

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.

Significant events

• “In late 2024, the Directors decided to pause the external news feed into the Newschain websites as the monetisation of the website audience was not viable, which has resulted in an impairment of the Newschain intangible assets in the period.”
• “On 29 September 2024, the Company joined the VAT Group with representive member National World Publishing Limited and its separate VAT registration was cancelled.”
• “On 13 February 2025, National World plc announced that at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting the requisite majorities of National World shareholders passed all of the resolutions to implement a Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to the terms of which National World plc would be acquired by the Mediaforce Group (the "Acquisition"). The timetable for implementation of the Acquisition has been impacted by a delay relating to the consideration of the Acquisition by the Republic of Ireland Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (the "CCPC").”
