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
“Management concludes that there are no material uncertainties that would cast doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern and the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Market conditions have been challenging during the year however the business has mitigated losses through ongoing restructuring actions.”
- “Results for the year saw revenues of £14.1m and operating profit at £167k which were lower than the same period last year, primarily due to market softening, delays in new business projects and restructuring costs.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
