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

Written confirmation has been provided to confirm that support is available to the company for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.

Significant events

• “Management has decided to pause its build programme of its Network until further funding is secured. As a result, management has assessed that this constitutes a potential indicator of impairment for County Broadbands fibre network.”
• “Management decided that unused build materials recognised as fixed assets that were not used and wasted build costs where parts of the networks would become dead ends as a result of the decision to stop building, would have to be impaired. An impairment charge of £5,602,768 (2023: nil) was made.”
