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

• “Another new laser was delivered in May 2024, which provided us with sufficient production capacity to achieve our sales objective.”
• “There was further capital investment in a new website, which launched in July 2024.”
• “A 10-year lease commitment was signed on new larger premises in November 2024, which the business plans to relocate to in Summer 2025.”
• “The company operates a discretionary profit related bonus scheme, to keep employees focused on delivering value to the company. The bonus is paid to all employees reflecting their contributions towards performance and rewarding them for their hard work. It has been accrued as at 2024 year-end and was paid in January 2025.”
