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 3.8% 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 2023, the company reports a discontinued business.

Materials, employee costs and other expenses are shown for the years they add up to operating expenses; for the year to Mar 2018 they do not, so they are left blank. Operating expenses, operating profit before depreciation and operating profit after depreciation are left blank for the year to Mar 2017: the statement does not state its depreciation, which operating profit is worked out from, so operating profit is not given. Net margin is left blank for the year to Mar 2023: the profit includes the result of a business the company has discontinued, which the revenue does not, so the two make no margin.

Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2022 and Mar 2023: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. From the net margin, from asset turnover and from borrowing are left blank for the years to Mar 2023 and Mar 2024: 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. Revenue growth and operating profit growth are left blank for the year to Mar 2023: between the two periods the company began reporting a business as discontinued, so the two are on different bases and the change is not worked out. 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.
