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

• “Turnover increased marginally by £240k over the time period. Livestock sales grew by £725k as the numbers filtered through from the re-stocking program, but this was offset by increased costs and poorer sales elsewhere.”
• “The cost sales were up in line with a disappointing 2024 harvest and reduced potato revenues with a generally challenging year for arable farming activities.”
• “The lack of clarity on government agriculture policy and changes to inheritance tax rules going forward makes future planning increasingly difficult. Labour continues to be a barrier to growth.”
• “The business continues to look for opportunities for growth and continues to invest in its infrastructure.”
