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

“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

• “The year 2023-24 was more challenging than the previous year with distinct slowdowns in both the industrial and most markedly, in the construction sectors.”
• “The previous year's supply chain issues partially subsided but coincided with a marked slowdown. This created some difficulties in controlling stock levels which were further exacerbated by poor price positioning by our lead manufacturing partner. In turn, that situation created further issues and costs in storage of equipment.”
• “A notable increase in the sales volume of Chinese manufactured equipment is another concern.”
