Revenue growth, operating profit growth, net profit growth and earnings per share growth are left blank for the year to Mar 2011: between the two periods the company restated its earlier figures, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out. Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2015, Mar 2016, Mar 2017, Mar 2018, Mar 2019 and Mar 2020: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. Debt to equity is left blank for the year to Mar 2020: net worth is below zero, so there is no shareholders' money to set the borrowings against. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2011, Mar 2012, Mar 2014, Mar 2015, Mar 2016, Mar 2017, Mar 2018 and Mar 2019, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.

Where the return came from
Yearly rates to Mar 2020, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.
| Over | Return a year | Earnings growth | Change in P/E | Dividend yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | −38.5% | – | – | 0.0% |
| 3 years | −62.7% | – | – | 0.0% |
| 5 years | −46.4% | – | – | 0.0% |
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add. Earnings growth and the change in P/E are left empty where earnings per share at either end of the window was a loss or is not on record.
