From Apr 2019 leases sit on the balance sheet: rent is charged as depreciation and interest instead, so operating profit and total assets step up with nothing about the business having changed. Borrowings here leave lease liabilities out. Lease payments were 2.3% of operating profit in the first full year.

The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2018, GST replaced excise duty on 1 Jul 2017, and revenue before that day includes the duty.

Tax is left blank for the year to Mar 2020: profit before tax less the tax charge stated does not come to the profit after tax the same statement states, so the tax charge is not shown. Net margin is left blank for the year to Mar 2020: the profit includes the result of a business the company has discontinued, which the revenue does not, so the two make no margin.

Revenue growth is left blank for the years to Mar 2018 and Mar 2019: between the two periods excise duty was taken out of revenue when GST replaced it, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the years to Mar 2020 and Mar 2021: the profit of this year or the year before includes a business the company has discontinued while its revenue does not, so the change in return on equity is not split into margin, turnover and borrowing. No balance sheet is on record for the years to Mar 2017 and Mar 2018, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
