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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ended 30 September 2025 has been highly profitable with operating profits achieved in excess of £3.2 million. There has been an increase in turnover from £20.7 million in the previous year to £24.5 million. The balance sheet remains in a strong position, with net cash and cash equivalents at the year-end of £1.9 million (£4.4 million in 2024).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
