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 opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The parent company has also demonstrated its willingness to provide support where needed, to enable the company to meet its obligations when they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date the financial statements are signed. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Recently the company celebrated 50 years of UK manufacturing and was recognised for the first time by His Majesty the King for an enterprise award in the field of Innovation. This following three similar awards in Technology and Export by the late Queen Elizabeth II.”
- “Winbro Reimagined: Winbro has developed new platforms and technologies to transition from our traditional turbine market into advanced semiconductor, medical and clean energy industries.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
