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 sudden passing of James McDermott, one of the co-founders and directors in January 25 left a void within the business. This workload has been covered through the efforts of existing staff and the remaining co-founder.”
- “The sudden passing of James McDermott has been a true loss to the business. Whilst his workload has been redistributed, it is a huge personal loss to his family, business partners and colleagues. James was a big personality and his presence is much missed.”
