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 directors' 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 group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The financial year was an unusual and difficult year in that there were elections across the world with the most important to our business being here in the UK and of course the USA and the likely changes to economic policies. The impact on our Live Event Rental business was noticeable in the first half of the year with the UK general election happening on 4th July.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
