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

- Auditor
- Johnston Carmichael LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 9 January 2025 the Company declared and paid a dividend of £117,351 based on the approval of the September 2024 operating model. Due to difference in performance of the Company and forecasts set out in the model on 9 January 2025 there were insufficient distributable reserves from which to pay this dividend. The dividend was subsequently reclassified as a principal repayment on the subordinated debt.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
