- “Pioneers UKI remains in a sound financial position, benefiting from reserves accumulated over several years and more recently from the sale of Bawtry Hall.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
