Significant events
- “Turnover increased by 6% due to the continued demand for UK holidays. Profit on ordinary activities before tax decreased by 32% mainly because of inflationary cost pressures particularly on utilities, food and labour costs largely driven by the national living wage changes. Depreciation and amortisation also increased by £392,000 because of the continued investment in the business.”

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
