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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board's assessment of going concern took into account market turbulence due to the macroeconomic environment. After making enquiries and assessing the financial forecasts for 12 months from the date of signing of this report, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

• “We also successfully completed our move to our new London office with the lease now being held by the Company.”
• “More disappointingly, we have experienced further delays in our move to our new head office in Haymarket in Edinburgh and are working closely with the developers to ensure an entry in 2025.”
