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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors are aware of certain circumstances which may cause doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern, namely that at the reporting date the group had net liabilities and incurred a loss for the year then ended. The group is a member of a larger group and the ultimate beneficial owner of the larger group has offered support, via a connected company, if required to ensure that the group has enough cash to meet forecast net expenditure for a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of the consolidated financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Subsequent to the period end the subsidiary JA Sportsbook Limited entered a member's voluntary liquidation. In addition, the subsidiary JGAW Holdings Limited has been dissolved following a group reorganisation.”
• “Subsequent to the period end management have undertaken an additional impairment assessment on investments in subsidiaries and goodwill from business combinations, which will lead to a proposed impairment on investments and goodwill. This was undertaken due to changes in conditions and assumptions used in the forecasts in the impairment assessment post year end, these conditions did not exist as at 31 December 2024. The investment in subsidairies would be fully impaired with a proposed impairment of £15,622,268 and goodwill would also be impaired by £9,676,564.”
