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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the year end the company has net current liabilities of £10,358,516 (2024: £2,844,412) and the group has net current assets of £2,390,890 (2024: £7,888,424). Included within current liabilities is an amount due to the directors of £nil (2024: £914,422). The directors have confirmed that they will not call upon this loan for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In addition to the directors' loans included within current liabilities, the balance within of £7,099,998 (2024: £7,500,000) is also owed to the directors. The directors have confirmed they will not draw on these balances in future if it jeopardises the group's ability to meet its other liabilities as they fall due. As a result the directors believe that the group will be able to continue in business and meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
