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
“In assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors considered the company's business activities alongside factors likely to impact its future development, performance, and financial position, including cash flows, liquidity, borrowing facilities, and key risks and uncertainties. The company reported net current assets of £5.45 million, net assets of £7.07 million, and a post-tax profit of £0.51 million. The company has a stable customer base and overall financial stability. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they become due for at least 12 months from the date of financial statement approval. Based on this assessment, the financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.”
