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
Ratios

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern basis remains appropriate, the directors have considered the Company's current financial position, recent trading performance, forecast cash flows and the availability of banking facilities. The directors are aware of certain factors which may cast doubt upon the Company's, and by association the Group's, ability to continue as a going concern but despite these pressures the directors remain confident the business will continue to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and that the company has sufficient support and resources available to manage these uncertainties effectively.”
Significant events
- “In the period since the year end the Company, and other Group companies, faced difficult trading conditions driven by the UK economic slow-down and enhanced payroll expenditure as a result of the UK Budget of October 2024 coming into effect in April 2025. This, coupled with the rationalisation of customers, has seen a decline in turnover and profitability, resulting in reduced operating cash flows.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
