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
“The Directors have assessed the current financial position of the Group and the Company, along with future cash flow requirements for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, to determine if the Group and the Company have the financial resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The Group continues to grow revenues, profits and cash flows and has a strong balance sheet with net assets of £59,606,000 and cash of £34,399,000. The conclusion of this assessment is that it is appropriate that the Group and the Company be considered a going concern.”

Significant events
- “From time to time, due to the nature of our business, disputes with customers may arise. In 2022, one customer ceased the implementation of some additional software modules and alleged breaches of contract which were rejected by the Group. During the reporting period, a settlement was agreed in order to resolve this dispute. The settlement was fully paid by the Group's insurers in October 2025. Accordingly, the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the settlement and related insurance recovery.”
