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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the forecasts relating to the future performance of the group and company for a period not less than 12 months from the date of these financial statements in assessing whether the group and company will have sufficient funds to pay its obligations as they fall due. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. There was a breach of the loan covenant for the quarter ended March 2024 due to the EBITDA being below the agreed level. The Directors entered discussions with the bank and agreed new covenants in principle pre year end. As such they do not believe a material uncertainty exists. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
