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

- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future based on its forecasts. Having considered all of the above factors, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The business suffered as a result of challenging market conditions during the period, with turnover decreasing by 30% on an annualised basis.”
- “The business reduced its overhead costs during the year, which helped mitigate against the losses brought about by the reduction in sales volume.”
- “The business is expected to return to profitability in 2026.”
- “As the UK continues to face a cost of living crisis, the company expects to be put under increasing pressure to control costs as inflation rates remain above the Bank of England target rate.”
- “The impact of Brexit and the ongoing war in Ukraine on the supply and price of raw materials is continuously monitored.”
- “In March 2023 HMRC issued notices of determination relating to underpaid national insurance contributions of £135,000 and income tax of £358,000.”
