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 0.5% of operating profit in the first full year.

Materials, employee costs and other expenses are shown for the years they add up to operating expenses; for the years to Mar 2017 and Mar 2018 they do not, so they are left blank. Belonging to outside owners of subsidiaries is left blank for the year to Mar 2023: the filing states 0 for this share both for the period and for the year so far, which the form also writes for a line it does not fill, while the company's other filings for the same year show it was not 0 over those months.

Dividends paid is left blank for the year to Mar 2023: the cash-flow statement states no dividends paid, while the company's own dividend record shows one paid in the period, so the line is not given.

Every year is restated for later splits and bonuses, so they do not break the line. The figure the company stated that year is under each line it differs from. The dividend as declared is blank for the year to Mar 2022: its payments were declared on different share counts, a split or bonus between them, so they do not add to one figure. Shareholder yield is left blank for the year to Mar 2023: the cash-flow statement states no dividends paid, while the company's own dividend record shows one paid in the period, so the line is not given.
