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

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The company has a very strong balance sheet with high cash reserves. The directors have projected future cashflow scenarios based on conservative revenue assumptions taking into account current economic conditions and the business has significant cash headroom based on these forecasts and in addition, the Directors have considerable flexibility within these forecasts for cost reduction. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The firm continued to trade well with sustained turnover growth, increasing by 4% from the year before to set another new record for the company, exceeding £30m for the first time.”
