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 make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During 2024 Eastern Sporting closed for two weeks to relocate to a new premises. The new premises have enabled the business to offer an extended product range and to expand the business activities. The cost of the move (£40,350) has been included in the company's profit and loss account and any assets purchased have been added to the company' balance sheet.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
