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

- 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
- “Retail turnover increased 13% continuing the company's long-term aim to increase the retail proportion of total turnover. Six new stores were opened in the period.”
- “Our excellent long term banking relationship allowed the company to restructure its borrowing during the year to decrease financing costs for 2026.”
- “In H2 the directors implemented a raft of efficiency and production changes which are already delivering solid financial improvement in H1 of the current year and this supports a parallel improvement in EBITDA as our latest retail estate expansion beds in.”
- “Following a year of consolidation and improved customer concentration, the company will continue its expansion with a programme of new shops, concessions and new wholesale customers including export.”
- “In October 2028, WC Rowe Falmouth Ltd is switching to a green energy deal and have signed contracts to enable this.”
- “Interim dividends of £400,000 were declared in the year (2024: £625,000).”
