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 the 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

• “Subsequent to the year end, the Company successfully secured an equity investment of £3 million; the company issued 78,497 Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of £.0001 each. This capital injection strengthens the Company's balance sheet and provides additional financial stability to support ongoing operational and strategic initiatives.”
• “Additionally, as part of an arrangement to settle a number of loans outstanding at 31 December 2024, the director transferred a number of shares held to loan holders. This will be treated as a capital contribution.”
• “As part of a wider employee incentive scheme, following the year end date, a further 61,500 share options were granted to certain employees, entitling the holder to subscribe for new shares in The Lions Prep Ltd.”
• “On 7 August 2025, the company entered into an agreement with a lender for additional facilities of £1,000,000. This was utilised in full at the date of approval of the financial statements and incurs interest at 3.92%, is repayable in instalments and is secured by way of debenture agreement and a personal guarantee from a director.”
