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

- 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
- “Strong demand for our products saw a welcome return to more usual revenue levels and continued efforts to improve efficiency in our manufacturing processes returned a small increase in average margins.”
- “During the year we have seen steady growth in our activities in Asia, Oceania and North America and will be continuing with our investment into these regions to bring more of our product range to market to support the changing needs of our global clients.”
- “Our 'Optima' branded partitioning systems continue to be unique in offering clients Circal75R, a grade of aluminium with the lowest commercially available embodied carbon per kg. This has been well received by clients and in tandem with our other sustainability initiatives supports our carbon reduction targets.”
