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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 group's and the parent 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.”

Significant events
- “During the year, the group changed the way certain trading income is recognised. As a result, turnover in the current year reflects income recognised on a net basis, whereas the prior year included transactions recognised on a gross basis. This change affects the presentation of turnover and does not impact the group's underlying profitability.”
- “A final settlement payment was received in the financial year for £129,954, this has been posted as an exceptional item.”
