- “During 2023, as the result of the unexpected poor performance in Language Line TI Limited, the Company carried out a review of the recoverable amount of that subsidiary. The review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of £3,221,463, which has been recognised in profit or loss.”

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
