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

Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Ensors (Azets Audit Services Limited)
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The Company remains in a healthy cash position. Forecasting indicates that the Company is able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Further resilience is provided by established relationships with a number of customers and suppliers, which help to spread and mitigate some of the trading risks the Company may face. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

“The Company has made significant investments through the appointment of a Commercial Director, well known within the security industry, to support the expansion of its client portfolio, market presence and brand reputation.”
“a Sales Director with a strong reputation in the CCTV and technical security solutions sector has been appointed, with a view to further developing this area of the business.”
“appointed a Bid Manager to ensure continued competitiveness and compliance in this area. This effectively completes the establishment of a new business development function, aimed at increasing turnover and securing further growth opportunities.”
“With the Quality and Compliance accreditations achieved during the year, the directors remain confident in the Company's future prospects.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
