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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors recognise that certain matters require consideration when assessing going concern at the date of approval. The directors acknowledge these facts currently represent a material uncertainty that, if they were not addressed, would have the potential to cast doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern at the date of approval. However they note that these matters are being addressed, the covenant reset on the bank debt is expected to be completed without difficulty, reflecting the bank's recent approach, including its agreement to release security to enable the sale and leaseback. The reset would have been finalised prior to approval of these financial statements had it not been for the imminent filing deadline. The directors are also confident that an extension to the facility repayment date, which is scheduled for negotiation in Autumn 2026, will be agreed in the normal course of discussions, at which point these going concern uncertainties would be resolved. On this basis, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “On 31 October 2025 Silverfish UK completed a sale and leaseback arrangement on its main trading premises.”
