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
“The directors have considered profitability and cashflows at various scenarios of operating levels and are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. The company's trade facility with HSBC bank have been renewed until February 2026 and with Santander Bank renewal till April 2026 is under process. The directors expect that the facility will be renewed at the renewal date. Moreover, the directors, having considered the results of scenario analysis mentioned above, are confident that the company will have sufficient internal resources available to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future even in the unlikely scenario where the above facilities are not renewed as expected. Hence the Directors continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
