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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “J.S.T. Connectors India Private Limited, our India branch company, have relocated to new premises providing a more suitable operating base with additional facilities to support customer meetings.”
- “There is an ongoing dispute with HMRC regarding the treatment of a funds flow of £1,425,000 which just physically changed hands between the company and the parent organisation JST Manufacturing Company in Japan. The directors do not consider this funds flow to be either a distribution or income, but despite this, the company incurred a net tax cost of £342,000 which has been transferred to HMRC. The company is seeking it be returned from HMRC of this amount and as such have recorded a debtor in these financial statements.”
