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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The group meets its day to day working capital requirements through a combination of bank lending facilities and trade creditors. As part of the boards assessment of going concern, trading and working capital requirements, forecasts have been prepared for the group covering the period to September 2026. The most critical assumptions when assessing future cash flows are the expected level of income, gross margins and overheads. Whilst recognising the inevitable uncertainties impacting the group going forward, the directors confirm that, after considering the matters set out above, they have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources and lending facilities, to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months following the signing of these financial statements. For these reasons, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
