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 Company has generated positive cash flows every year since its first full year of operations and has continued to do so in 2025. Although the current environment is unpredictable, the Board believes the Company is well positioned to manage the risks and as explained in more detail in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, that there is no material uncertainty as to whether the Company remains a going concern.”

Significant events
- “As reported in note 19, the Directors acknowledge global macroeconomic tensions, in particular the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, the uncertainties caused by the new US administration's tariffs, the resultant sanctions on Russia and disruption to trade flows through the Red Sea and the combined effect on the current business climate and global trade flows. The duration of these tensions and the impact on global trade cannot be accurately determined at the current date. Events arising from these tensions may impact the Company in varying ways leading to downward pressure on the level of broker commissions recognised.”
