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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Auditor
- Dains Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having assessed the forecasts and cash flow projections of the company, which take effect of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the ongoing support from its funders and suppliers, the directors have concluded that the Company will have sufficient financial resources to meet its debts as they fall due and will be able to operate within the facilities, it currently has available. Thus, these financial statements are prepared adopting the going concern basis for preparation”
Significant events
- “On 5 November 2024, the entire share capital was acquired by M Price.”
- “On 5 November 2024, 350,000 Ordinary shares of £1.00 each were issued at a premium of £0.14 per share. Consideration for these shares was satisfied by a conversion of debt.”
- “In the current year, the company identified an error in its previously issued financial statements relating to unaccrued liabilities for certain trade payables, not recorded accurately as at the end of that prior reporting period. A prior year adjustment of £296,732 has been posted through cost of sales in relevant previous periods, which has resulted in the prior year reported result being a loss of £15,501 from a previously reported profit of £99,870 and the opening profit and loss reserves at 1 October 2022 being reported as retained reserves of £225,818 from a previously reported £407,179. The net assets at 30 September 2023 have therefore decreased to £1,610,317 from a previously reported amount of £1,907,049.”
