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

- 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

- “margins have suffered and shown a material decrease during the year under review.”
- “wages costs have increased significantly as a result of staff being retained whilst salaries have increased to reflect market rates.”
- “company has continued to invest in its property portfolio with an additional property being acquired and further investments being acquired.”
- “the company has been affected by the COVID-19 restrictions, which has had an impact on the operations of the business and the impact of the restrictions on the business.”
- “The war in the Ukraine has affected costs incurred by the business and therefore the profitability of the business has reduced in the year under review.”
- “The global uncertainty is expected to have an impact on the company in the current year and the uncertainty of the upcoming general election in the UK is expected to see changes in the UK economy.”
- “SSG Contracts has looked at global markets to improve its trading activity and is currently work ng with one of its global customers within the USA.”
