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

Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Kreston Reeves LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“M.J. Allen Holdings Limited has confirmed that it will continue to provide any financial support required. Consequently, and given the company's strong net asset position at the period end, the directors have no doubt that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain global economic outlook. Accordingly, it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

“The business invested in the installation of solar panels in 2024 which significantly reduce the electricity overhead cost as well as contribute towards sustainability. This project was rolled out over three of the group companies, a total investment of circa £350k. IT is likely we will see further installations on the coming year.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
