Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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

Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because after reviewing budgets, other long-term plans, making due enquiries and completion of cashflow / working capital forecasts the Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements despite being in a net current liabilities position at the year end.”
