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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Given the strong financial support of the parent company, which provides a robust safety net, the directors consider that there are no significant going concern challenges at present.”

Significant events

• “Telefonica's decision to discontinue its franchise model led to the closure or transfer of all company stores in May 2024, and the company has now effectively ceased trading.”
• “An exceptional termination payment was received from a franchisor on early termination of a franchise agreement.”
