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
“Despite the net current liabilities of £1,064,292 and loss before tax of £477,092 for the year ended 31 December 2024, based on current trading position and support of its main creditor, All Steels Trading Limited (connected through common majority ownership), which has confirmed that it will continue to support the Company and will not seek repayment of the balance owing to it for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements, the directors are confident that the Company will remain a going concern. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
