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 directors have prepared budgets and cash flow forecasts to 31 December 2026. The company has a net asset value at 30 June 2025 of £2,803,761 (2024: £3,953,729). At the year end the company had total trade loans of £5,470,193 (2024: £4,460,170) and the group's primary bank, HSBC, continue to support the group. Cashflow projections are put in place for best and worst case scenarios in order to ensure relevant working capital is available for the business. On this basis the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
