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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “refinancing exercise was conducted in late 2025, with support from existing shareholders and asset finance. The refinancing exercise identified a need for additional funding of £3.7m, to allow the group to settle working capital stretch and focus on core strategy. The refinancing exercise was completed in early January 2026, with the £3.7m being raised, through a mixture of new loan notes from existing shareholders (£2.5m) and the introduction of new asset finance (£1.2m).”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
