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

| Current ratio | 2.76x | 3.97x | |
| Interest cover | 113.83x | -6.06x |

“The Directors have assessed the prospects of the Company over a period of at least 12 months after the date of approval of these financial statements. The Directors have considered cash flow forecasts, forecast financial performance taking account of reasonably possible downsides, and the Company's commitments and obligations. At 31 December 2024, net current assets reduced as a result of the loss for the year, from £164,715k to £161,781k. The Company has immediate access to cash from its parent company EPUKI, should it be required. EPUKI has indicated its intention via a letter of support to continue to make available such funds as is needed by the Company for the period covered by the forecasts, and the Directors have reviewed the financial forecasts of EPUKI to confirm this to be the case if it was required. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “There are no events to report that occurred between 31 December 2024 and the date of approving and signing the financial statements.”
