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
“The directors are confident that the company has adequate reserves and resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and is well placed to manage its business risk successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The market in 2024/2025 remains a challenge, with volumes expected to be around the same level as the 2024 financial year. High interest rates, challenging market conditions and the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict are all significant factors, and will be continued to be monitored by the directors.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
