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
- “The transformation process surrounds utilising the strong platform from being a leading Managed Print Service Provider, to becoming an IT Managed Services provider that remains the leader in Managed Print Services. The directors are focused on continuing to broaden and improve the services and the value Xerelec brings and delivers to its customers. This is particularly the case in the big growth markets of PC / Laptop Services, Cyber Security and AI.”
- “On 25th September 2014 the company signed two Minimum Periodic Rental Agreements ("MPRAS") with Xerox Finance Limited in respect of the leasing of certain equipment. Assets, the subject of the MPRAs, are rented to customers and are subject to Managed Print Service Agreements ("MPSAs"). Pursuant to said agreements the company signed Deeds of Assignment on the same date with Xerox Finance Limited covering all assets which are the subject of the MPSAs and all present and future book debts owing to the company arising out of said MPSAS. Similar agreements were subsequently signed on 13 October 2016, 26 April 2017, 7 June 2017, 29 March 2019 and 21 December 2023.”
