Significant events
- “On 6 May 2021, the Company received a formal writ of claim from the trustee in bankruptcy of Alpha Insurance A/S ("Alpha"), a company incorporated in Denmark, for an amount of £615,541... The directors of the Company are rigorously defending the claim which they consider is without merit, and also contrary to a settlement agreement dated 24 September 2018... In addition, the directors have also prepared a counterclaim against the trustee in respect of profit commission which the directors consider is due to the Company.”

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
