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

Significant events
- “The group's position was strengthened post year-end by refinancing with a new finance provider, replacing the £2m overdraft and invoice discounting facilities. As part of this refinancing, accrued interest and legacy loans originally taken to support the business through the Covid period, which remained outstanding at the year end, were written off. This transaction significantly reduced liabilities and resulted in an increase in group net assets of approximately £8.8m.”
- “Post year end, as part of the refinancing, loans included in creditors at the year end of £8,740,626 and accruals of £299,165 were written off by the current provider, resulting in an increase in net assets.”
