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

“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

• “Our profits for the year have exceeded our expectations, and this is due to return to increase in Turnover as well as our dedicated staff. Turnover has increased as forecast this year due to securing large value and longer duration works. Whilst our current order book remains healthy, there is a rick that Turnover will drop for the upcoming year, due to our developer clients not progressing in new sites because of the low rate of house sales.”
