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 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
- “During the year the company completed its transition to the One LBBC operating model. Leeds and Bradford Boiler Company Limited now operate as a single integrated entity... Over the coming year the company will also introduce an additional revenue stream, LBBC Defence... There were contingent liabilities in respect of amounts repayable to customers at 31 March 2025 totalling £308,450 (2024-£450,105).”
