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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Based on our 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
- “Calder Conferences Limited had to diversify from it's core business and was successful in facilitating contingency support requirements outside its normal trade in 2023. This extra business ceased during the year ended 28 February 2024.”
- “Due to the release of part of the contractual clawback provision that is no longer required this has lead to a credit charge in the profit and loss account in respect of cost of sales for the year ended 28 February 2025.”
