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

“Based on forecasts and current level of activity in the business, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In addition, ABI UK Holding 1 Limited, an intermediate parent company of ZX Ventures Limited, has provided the Company with an undertaking that for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, it will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company to enable the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As with any Company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that the support will continue, although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.”

Significant events
- “The company recognised an impairment loss of £3,288k (2024: £5,740k) to reflect an impairment of investment in subsidiaries. Given the uncertainty in the estimation of the impairment, the financial effect may reduce in the future with the reversal of losses recognised in the financial statements.”
- “Following optimisation of the group structure in 2024, a 5 year loan with a principal value of £12,500k remains outstanding.”
