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

“In auditing the financial statements we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Appointment of a Finance Officer, with the aim of transitioning to in-house financial management in 2025.”
- “Progress toward automated and cashless finance systems, including online payment facilities via adoption profiles and options such as Apple Pay.”
- “Continued work with accountants and auditors to strengthen internal financial controls.”
- “Acquisition of a new transport van for the safe movement of animals, funded through a successful grant application, and adapted to meet Animal Health requirements.”
- “Additional children's programs and special needs programs for educating and helping the mental health of participants were started up and we have reopened our horse program which had previously closed due to COVID.”
- “MTAR has recruited two full-time staff members a qualified veterinary surgeon and a veterinary nurse.”
