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

“The directors consider, along with shareholder support if necessary, that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Based on an assessment of financial forecasts covering the next 12 months from the balance sheet date of these financial statements and an informal internal review for 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the directors have concluded that the company has sufficient liquidity and can successfully manage it's financial risks to continue for the going concern review period. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “FY25 also marked a significant milestone in the company's history, with a change in ownership the first since Alfred Pearce founded the business in the 1960s. Alfred G. Pearce Ltd has always been family-owned and will remain so under the stewardship of the Harrod family within Fenmare Holdings.”
• “The financial year was extended to 13 months to align the reporting period across the Group. The transaction has resulted in some exceptional costs around acquisition, business integration and transition.”
• “FY25 saw an expansion in range, reflecting a long-term strategy to diversify our product portfolio.”
• “FY25 saw substantial investment in automation projects scheduled for delivery in FY26 to reduce reliance on labour and mitigate future employment cost pressures.”
• “In the current period, the Company changed its policy for valuing freehold property from the revaluation method to the historical cost method.”
• “An error was also identified in relation to the classification of a group of assets under construction which were previously held on balance sheet as a prepayment. This amounted to £188,465 and has been transferred to to tangible fixed assets.”
