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

• “Operating profit achieved during the year was £176,059 (2023: £360,274) and the return on capital employed decreased from 41.99% in 2023 to 10.94% for 2024. Return on capital employed is calculated as profit on ordinary activities before intercompany management charges, interest and taxation divided by capital employed which constitutes total assets less current liabilities, less cash, plus borrowings (including invoice discounting liabilities).”
