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
“The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should have sufficient cash resources to meet its requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Accordingly, the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements remains appropriate.”
Significant events
- “During the financial year the Group met its day to day working capital requirements through bank facilities with Virgin Money plc. These facilities were refinanced in October 2023 and at that point comprised a £3.5 million term loan, a £1.0 million revolving credit facility, and a £1.0 million bank overdraft.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
