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

The Directors, therefore, consider it appropriate prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “2024/25 saw little change in there being numerous delayed starts on contracts of all types and sizes. In 2023/24 we took the prudent measure of providing for possible losses on an innovation project, some of which did materialise when the final account was agreed in early 2025. The year has not been easy with a number of difficult projects rearing their heads throughout the year but a return to profitability was welcome after the difficult previous year.”
