Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“During the year the company made a profit before tax of £5,746,346 (2024: £4,838,807) and the balance sheet shows net assets of £15,484,726 (2024: £12,771,072). The directors have considered the basis of preparation of the financial statements and have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare these on the going concern basis. This assessment is due to the company forecasts demonstrating sufficient funds and cash flows to be able to manage its liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months of the approval of the financial statements. The directors continue to monitor the threat and implications of the current macro-economic environment. Based on a review of the activities of the Company and the ability to reduce certain costs in the short term. the members currently believe that this risk can be managed for the year ahead. The Company therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
