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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The current economic conditions present risks for all businesses. In response to such conditions, the directors have carefully considered these risks, including an assessment of future trading for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, and the extent to which any risks might affect the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis. The forecasts show that the Company will continue to trade within its available facilities. As such the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the annual financial statements. The Company has net liabilities of £17,945 (2023: £8,593) as at 31 December 2024. The Pelsis Group of which the Company is a member will provide support to make sufficient funds available if needed for at least 12 months from the date of the audit report.”
