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

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “A very disappointing result in a very difficult market. Following on from the end of the previous year, trading conditions remained challenging with faltering demand and increased competition forcing down prices, particularly in the retail garden centre market, but also to a lesser extent in the commercial amenity market.”
- “Further, unusually dry weather conditions throughout the trading period followed unusually wet conditions in the year before, the extremes proving difficult for our key customers, but also for our own production team, who experienced much higher than average crop failures.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
