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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of 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 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
- “The company's turnover for the year ended 31 October 2024 was $132,487,287 (2023: $104,785,494), representing a significant increase. This growth year on year can be attributable to a higher volume of transactions and a favourable market environment.”
- “In the prior year $354,670 of factoring charges were included in administrative expenses. This amount has been re-allocated to interest payable and similar charges. This has resulted in a presentational change to both the income statement and the statement of cash flows. In addition cash at bank balances which were included in debtors, in the prior year have now been correctly shown in cash and bank balances.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
