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
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis on the grounds that, having considered the risks noted in the strategic report, they have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The investment phase of the fund continued throughout the year, but has now come to a close, with the realisation phase having commenced and set to continue to at least 31 March 2028.”
- “With the investment phase of the original fund having now terminated, the company has sought the necessary finance to launch a successor fund. After the year end, funding of £100m was secured from the North East Combined Authority and regional legacy reserves.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
