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.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 Group's or the parent 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

• “After the year end, Oxford Investment Opportunity Network Limited and their respective partnered nominee formally closed on Q1 of a separately administered fund valued at £672k. This will result in increased future activity.”
• “A Grant Funding Agreement was entered into with Cornwall Council before the end of the financial year for the express purpose of establishing a fund specifically designed to address the critical early-stage equity funding gap for small businesses in Cornwall. Following the year end, Oxford Innovation Services Limited received £1m of funding for these purposes from Cornwall Council. No benefit accrued to Oxford Innovation Services Limited by the year end in relation to this.”
• “On 9 May 2025, Oxford Innovation Services Limited purchased the Growth Canvas business and its associated IP from Multidmedia Limited. Consideration is in the form of a £250,000 up-front payment and future contingent consideration linked to revenue over a two-year period. These sums are to be capitalised and amortised over the period during which benefit will accrue to Oxford Innovation Services Limited from the ownership of these assets.”
