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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the 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
- “Company sold the Phillips building in December resulting in a book loss due to the reversal of the revaluation surplus of £6.7m. This loss has been treated as an exceptional item.”
- “On 20/12/2024 Gallery Direct Limited completed a sale and leaseback of the Phillips freehold property for proceeds of £9.2m. The sale was exempt from VAT as the company had not opted to tax the property. The resulting loss on disposal of £4.1m has been recognised in the profit and loss.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
