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
“The group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the group is expected to have sufficient level of financial resources available through current facilities. Therefore, the directors believe that the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. In particular, at the year end the group had cash at bank of £4.6m. The group's debt is principally due to other companies within the Constantine group and it has minimal external bank borrowings. It is noted that the Group is in a net asset position as at 31 December 2024 of £1.24m (2023 - net asset position of £1.1m). Constantine Group Limited has issued a comfort letter that it will provide the necessary financial support to enable the Group to continue its operations and meet its obligations as they fall due, which is valid for one year following the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
