Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 100.0% | 100.0% | |

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
