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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “At the reporting end date the company had outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases, which fall due as follows: Within 1 year 70,000 (2023: 70,000), Years 2-5 280,000 (2023: 280,000), After 5 years 207,083 (2023: 277,083).”
- “With the increasing demand for quality housing in London, the directors feel that its existing and established position in the market combined with its continued investment in innovative systems and processes, will support and strengthen its position.”
