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 directors' 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

• “Impact of new British Government policies on University Funding affecting customer orders.”
• “Rising inflation causing increased material and labour costs in 2024 and continuing into 2025.”
• “Ongoing material shortages due to global demand, Covid effects, and Russia-Ukraine conflict.”
• “Impact of Russia-Ukraine war on oil, gas, and electricity costs, and general market uncertainty.”
• “Increase in business taxes following a labour government election impacting client investment and 2025 turnover.”
• “Competitive market pressures leading to potential loss of sales.”
