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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, and based on the comments within the strategic report, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to meet the ongoing costs to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. In addition to considerations made above, the directors' have prepared a going concern assessment which includes the preparation of forecasts, modelling various sensitivities and outcomes for a period of 12 months from the date of these financial statements. These forecasts demonstrate that the group has sufficient headroom to meet their financial obligations as they fall due with the continued financial support of the shareholders. Accordingly, the directors' have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate.”

Significant events
- “Post year end the group and the company incurred an event of default under the current bank facilities, triggered by a breach of financial covenant, which gives Bank of Ireland the right to accelerate repayment and under FRS 102, this would mean the debt being shown as repayable on demand as the group would not be able to unconditionally defer payment. The group received a covenant waiver from their bankers for the covenant breach post year end.”
- “During the 31 March 2026 year end, the company has undergone a restructuring exercise. The costs associated with this exercise are approximately £300,000.”
- “On 20th March 2024, the Company acquired the trade and assets of Bizzyou.io.”
