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

“The Directors have performed a going concern assessment which indicates the Company will require additional funds through the above arrangements to meet its liabilities, as they fall due during the 12 months following the date of approval of the financial statements. In performing this assessment, the Directors have considered the performance of the Company going forward, and the available liquidity of the group headed by Colt Group Holdings Limited, and have determined that, due to the expected support from the group, they believe that the Company is well placed to manage its financing and future commitments over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In mid-August 2025, Colt detected a cyber incident affecting one of its internal business support systems. As a precautionary measure, certain systems across the Colt Group were proactively and temporarily shut down. Management promptly reported the incident to the relevant authorities, and external cybersecurity experts were engaged to support internal teams in managing the response and mitigating associated risks.”
