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
“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
- “Whilst the company has reported losses for the two years 2023 and 2024, this is because the directors made a decision to extract profits generated in earlier years from the company, and so were paid bonuses.”
- “Turnover during the year decreased by 32.8% to £7.3m. About half of this reduction was because the recycled plastics market as a whole has been quiet and physical sales have dropped; the other half of the reduction is because of the fall in PRN prices.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
