How to read these figures

Revenue and profit after tax are totals over the period. Net assets is what the company owns minus what it owes, as recorded on the balance sheet date. It is a book value, not a market valuation or a sale price, and ApplySafer does not publish one, because no reliable public source for the market value of a private UK company exists.

A change is measured against the period before. Where the two periods are of different lengths, part of any change in revenue and profit is the different length, and the page says so beside the figures.

Directors' pay is shown exactly as filed. Where a company publishes a total for all its directors but no separate figure for its highest paid director, the total is labelled as a total, is never presented as one person's pay, and is never divided by the number of directors.

The last three filed periods on the public record are shown.

Full accounts. A blank figure was not in the document.

Read from the documents this company filed at Companies House. Figures are as filed and are never adjusted, estimated or filled in.

How the director count is made

Counted from the Companies House register of officers: people currently appointed as a director with no resignation recorded. Company secretaries are not directors and are not counted, and officers who have resigned are not counted.

ApplySafer shows the number of directors and the directors' pay figures separately, exactly as each was filed. It never divides one by the other: in UK companies directors are often paid in dividends rather than salary, non-executive directors are frequently unpaid, and appointments can run for part of a year, so emoluments divided by directors is not anybody's salary.

From the Companies House register of officers, which is live rather than a periodic filing.

Registered charges are security given to lenders. Secured borrowing is normal business practice, and a charge count on its own says nothing about whether an employer is in difficulty.

The lender, amount and creation date of each charge come from the authenticated Companies House charges endpoint, which this deployment is not configured for. Only the counts held on the public register snapshot are shown.
