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 Directors have prepared cash flow information to assess going concern over at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. Forecasts indicate the Ursae Group and the Company have sufficient facilities and covenant headroom to meet liabilities, even in plausible downside scenarios. Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 13 March 2025, CapVest Equity Partners III, L.P. transferred its holdings in Ursae TOPCO Limited to a newly incorporated entity, Ursae Holdco L.P. This event has no effect on these financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
