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
“At the balance sheet date the group has net current assets of £116,331 (2024: £617,421 net current liabilities) it generated a profit for the year of £608,098 (2024: £372,342). In addition the directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient available cash to pay it's creditors as they fall due. These cash flow forecasts include the scheduled material payments and best estimates of other material cash movements. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient cash to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
