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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a strong expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion management have produced forecasts on cashflow and profitability for the year ending 31 December 2024, which has been sensitised for such factors as a reduction in Gross Fees performance. These forecasts are as realistic as possible based on information currently available, the results of which indicate the company will have sufficient financial headroom as well as returning a significantly improved profit in the next two years. The main source of funding continues to be via the company's invoice discounting facility. Therefore, with due consideration of the above, the directors are comfortable adopting the going concern basis of accounting in the preparing the financial statements.”
