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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 group's and the parent 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

• “The business performed well during a challenging year. Turnover for the year fell by 7.6% to £10,512,525 with a loss before taxation of £472,849 recorded. Cost pressures, particularly around payroll costs, with a 10% minimum wage increase combined with difficult macro economic conditions had an impact on footfall and margins across the sector.”
• “Additionally a number of one off events impacted on the group's performance. These included costs of circa £175,000 settling a long running legal dispute, conclusion of multiple rent and building insurance reviews across sites in Edinburgh, Glasgow and East Kilbride which has added one off costs of circa £500,000 and an ongoing rates review at the Wester Hailes site which, if successful, will reduce costs by circa £150,000.”
• “In total these 'exceptional' costs of £825,000 would need to be added back to give a representative view of future profitability. Once added back in 2025 this would result in an underlying EBITDA of £1.39million for the year.”
• “The company will continue to focus on growing demand and increasing profitability in existing sites. A period of high investment in sites will continue with a site in Southampton opening in April 2025. The director continues to look at potential new sites and is keen to grow the business.”
