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
“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. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Al 31 October 2024, the company had nel assets of £6.2 million and net current assets of £3.8 million, together with a cash reserves of £0.3 million and committed bank facilities with its bankers through to a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Management have prepared forecasts of financial performance to cover a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The key risk over the period of the forecasts is that of a significant decline in revenue generating activity over the forecast period, but given the profile of the customer base and the continued flow of work to date, the directors consider the forecast to be a robust assessment of likely activity.”

Significant events
- “On 30 November 2023, the trade and net assets of Rishton Abrasive Products Limited were sold to Lloyd & Jones Engineers Limited. The consideration was equal to the fair value of net assets at that date with no value attributed to the goodwill acquired. In accordance with the provisions of UK accounting standards, a transfer of £70,765 has been made from the cost of investment to goodwill, the amount transferred equivalent to the amortised net book value of goodwill as at the date of transfer of the trade and net assets. On 30 November 2023, Rishton Abrasive Products Limited paid a dividend to Lloyd & Jones Engineers Limited of £17,683, this comprised the net assets of Rishton Abrasive Products Limited with the exception of £100 which is retained as the carrying value of the investment. Rishton Abrasive Products Limited has been dormant since that date, so accordingly an investment impairment charge of £13,657 has been recognised in the financial statements.”
