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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In forming this view, the directors have considered the Company's current financial position, including the result for the year ended 31 December 2024, being a profit before tax of £5.2m and prepared forecasts and projections covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. On this basis the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
