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

- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, as the BID was successful at ballot, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources with a relatively fixed income, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. With rising costs of providing services and demands needed, they are monitoring the income received from the BID levy and making budget adjustments as required, so as a result the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “This year, the BID allocated additional spend to improve town centre activity, which was approved by our Directors. This included an increase in Christmas lighting, planting, as well as town centre events such as the successful Elmer Art Trail which attracted over 1,000 families.”
- “Our bad debt profit and loss charge has decreased as a result of recovery action which we have undertaken over the last year, and we continue to work to reduce non-payment of levy payment.”
- “A vote was carried out in June - July 2024, where businesses were asked whether or not they were in support of the BID proceeding for a further five years. The ballot was successful with an 82.8% yes vote based on turnout and 84% yes vote based on the rateable value. As a result, the BID will provide additional activities for the next five years via the BID levy.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
