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

- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding the Company's net current liabilities of £1,549k (2024: net current liabilities of £1,664k) and net liabilities of £328k (2024: £328k), the directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. The creditor balance of £1,665k (2024: £1,780k) is due to a fellow group company James Briggs Limited, and written assurances have been received from that company that it intends for the balance to be repaid by offsetting future royalty payments due to James Briggs (IP) Limited from James Briggs Limited. In addition, the directors consider that the market value of the intellectual property held by the Company is significantly higher than its book value and that it could, if required sell the brands for a significant premium in order to pay off the balance due to James Briggs Limited. For these reasons, the directors have no concerns regarding the Company's ability to settle its obligations as they fall due and continue to adopt the going concern basis.”
