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

“The group's forecast and projections show that the group will be able to operate within the level of its current financial means, for at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. The forecasts prepared include expected cash receipts and the anticipated timing of those receipts; however, the actual timing of these receipts may differ from that forecasted. The forecasts also include a certain level of revenues that are expected to be generated from existing customers' recurring revenue and revenue from new customers and opportunities. The new customers and / or contracts is highly dependent on the contract win rates for which variances may occur compared to that of the forecasted revenue. During October 2024, the group also implemented significant cost saving measures such as reducing the office space, adjustments to staffing, renegotiations with current suppliers and others that involves decreasing travel in order to remain within its financial means.”

Significant events
- “In October 2024 the Company launched a restructure process with the aim of reducing costs sufficiently to achieve profitability going forward. This was primarily achieved by reducing headcount by c.20% and downsizing the company's headquarters to a smaller unit on the same site, and the implementation allowed the company to meet the EBITDA budget once the restructure costs were excluded.”
