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. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company's principal activity was the processing of animal feed until the trade and assets were sold on 28 March 2023. The company is actively looking at future trading activities and opportunities and therefore the directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate.”

Significant events

• “On 26 September 2025, the company acquired the entire share capital of Coolgate Limited for £11,533,817. The principal activities of Coolgate Limited are those of arable farming and the directors consider this acquisition will form a key part in the company's growth of its agricultural business. The acquisition will be reflected in the company's financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.”
