Significant events
- “turnover increased by approximately 7% from £39m to £42m, reflecting a modest recovery from the prior year's low base. However, gross margins have declined, impacted by pricing pressures and cautious market demand. After payment of dividends, shareholders' funds have increased by £370k.”

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
