- Statement of cash flows, 2024 (p16): the net increase in cash printed (212,965,978) differs from the sum of the printed operating, investing and financing totals (372,565,770 - 546,134,520 + 865,399,777 = 691,831,027); opening cash 23,921,302 plus 212,965,978 gives the printed closing 236,887,280. Kept as printed.
- Rounding differences of 1 in the printed subtotals: operating result 2025 (25,311,201 against 25,311,202 from the lines) and the unlabelled subtotal after finance cost (p13); 2024 total assets and total equity and liabilities 2,953,596,025 against 2,953,596,024 (p14); 2025 non-current liabilities 73,155,762 against 73,155,761; investing and financing totals 2025 (p16).
