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

“After making enquiries and reviewing annual cash flow forecasts against the banking facilities available, the Board is confident that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. For this reason, we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The team continued to promote our business with the most recent success being the main sponsor of the NSA North Sheep show held at Greystoke Castle.”
• “We also ran the annual Christmas Tractor run with over 100 tractors taking part and huge crowds enjoying the display as they drove though villages anc towns across West Cumbria raising significant funds for 3 worthy charities.”
• “During the year we saw unprecedented increases in the value of stock being sold, this coupled with an increase in numbers sold resulted in a 16% increase in income for the livestock mart and also resulted in the largest grossing week in the marts history by both stock numbers and gross sale value.”
• “As was documented in last years accounts on the 25 October 2024 we received the formal planning permissions for the 15 acres next to the mart.”
• “The Drainwise depot is now complete and they have been a great addition to Hopes site.”
