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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Management have produced budgets for the company in conjunction with the group cash-pooling arrangement, showing the ability to pay creditors where they fall due, thus the director has continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2025, the company entered into a cash pooling agreement with the parent company, which further mitigates short term cash flow issues, and also enables better management of foreign exchange risk. We entered into the cash pooling arrangement in October 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
