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
“After considering all of the above factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has sufficient access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and for at least the period of twelve months following the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern principle in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Remote IT device logistics saw revenue growth and we now see this as being the major growth driver for the business in the coming years.”
- “Other parts of the business, particularly those where the majority of the business consists of large individual contracts, did not do so well and saw revenue declines.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
