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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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
- “During 2025 the business divested and closed non-core brands and products to draw focus to the brands which show greatest growth potential, rightsizing headcount costs, increasing efficiencies and growing margins as a result.”
- “In addition, the company made a heavy investment in technology, moving each of our group brands digital assets onto a new technology platform that will increase our ability to embrace AI, learn about our readers, grow our databases, and maximise revenues.”
- “May 2026 will see the final payment of our £2m Covid Business Interruption Loan (CBIL) which has been paid down reliably inclusive of interest payments throughout its term.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
