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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

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

• “The financial year saw the establishment of a new crop within a subsidiary of the Company named ACH Grapes Limited, which planted 70 acres of vines during 2024 for GB Wine production.”
• “Sadly, in October 2024 our longest serving Director Humphrey Hulme passed away. Humphrey was 83 and farmed up to his death which, whilst a surprise, was not therefore unexpected. Appropriate plans for the future were already in place and on 1 April 2025 Henry Miles was appointed a director of AC Hulme & Sons and I was appointed a director AG & HT Miles Limited.”
• “The company has acquired new land for farming purposes after the year end to continue with expansion of operations.”
