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

- Affirmed
“The company continues to meet its working capital needs by utilising and working within agreed banking facilities. The directors have made reasonable enquiries, including a review of existing customer and supplier relationships and future financial forecast to enable them to form a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate reserves and financial facilities to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, whilst allowing for the repayment of bank loans. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The 2024 results have been significantly impacted due to a doubtful debt provision of £1,644,433.”
