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

- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, with expectation that trading results will allow current liabilities to be met.”
Significant events
- “At the end of the financial year, the Company's sole UK optical client exited upon the expiry of its contract term, as a result of the Company's pivot to a SAAS technology company. An extensive review of costs has been undertaken, including a restructuring of the business which was completed in Q1 2025, to put the Company on a sound financial footing for the 2025 financial year and beyond.”
