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

“At the year end the company was in a net current asset position. Having made the requisite enquiries and assessed the resources at the disposal of the company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue its operation for the foreseeable future, being a period of a least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the buildings at 3 and 15 West Lane achieved practical completion in line with target.”
- “Construction works progressed during the year in line with the recovery programme. The development was delayed following trade contractor insolvency and the impact of water ingress. Units have been stripped back to shell and reconstruction works are well progressed. The joint venture anticipates completing the project by Q1 2026.”
- “The Group secured planning permission in July 2023, piling began in June 2024, with the building due for completion in Q1 2028.”
