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 group's and 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. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The Directors are relieved that the company has once again continued to be profitable. Turnover and profits have increased and we are confident that our results will improve in the current accounting period.”
- “The company buys and sells in Euros and Dollars. Consequently there is a fairly low possible exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, but the rates are monitored daily to reduce any such exposure. The volumes of the two currencies are kept to an absolute minimum.”
- “The company is aware of the current market prices of gold and silver. There is therefore a possible risk that the value of the commodities might fall, however these rates are monitored on a daily basis and are hedged accordingly.”
- “The directors have again reviewed the impact of Brexit on the company and its trade. The Company's traditional European Union customers have continued their support notwithstanding the draconian border controls imposed by the United Kingdom Border Force.”
- “The factory remains fully staffed and orders are being received at an acceptable level.”
