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 understand that as at the date of the approval of these financial statements the immediate parent ALM Media Holdings Inc is currently in a strong financial position to support the Company to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. Letter of support has been received from the parent company ensuring that financial support will be given for twelve months from the date of signing the accounts. As with any Company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Therefore having considered the parent's financial position, its trading results in the year, cash flow and trading forecasts for at least the next 12 months, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year-end, in April 2025, the company and its immediate parent entity ALM Media Holdings Inc were sold to Law Business Research Inc. The directors have considered the impact of this transaction on the financial statements and concluded that it does not affect the recognition or measurement of assets and liabilities at the year-end.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
