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

“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 group's and parent 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
- “Over the past several years, the prolonged economic downturn has had a significant adverse effect on both sales volumes and pricing levels across the industry. This challenging economic environment, when combined with persistently high construction and financing costs, has placed increased pressure on the company's financial performance. As a result of these compounding factors, the business has unfortunately recorded a loss during this period. However, the future outlook remains positive with a strong order book and an increased interest in our homes across our existing developments.”
