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 confirm their assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts based upon data available at the date of signing of the accounts. Cash flow forecasts show that although 2025 is a year of challenges and growth the company does not expect to require any funding in the next 12 months to achieve this.”
Significant events
- “Looking ahead, and as part of our expansion strategy, there is a high likelihood of completing a merger with a company in the sector by 2025.”
- “On 31 January 2025, LBO France Gestion were acquired by ITAB Shop Concept AB, a company incorporated in Sweden. These are now considered to be the ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party.”
