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 statemerts 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 group's and the parent 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
- “SDE Electrical Ltd, incorporated on 26 October 2021, is in a very successful trading position, primarily as an electrical subcontractor to Storage & Display Equipment Ltd. Turnover has nearly doubled this year on the previous year, resulting in increased company profitability.”
- “SDE Energy Solutions Ltd, incorporated on 17 June 2022, continues to successfully trade in the renewables sector to both existing SDE and new customers. The company made the move in January 2023 to primarily the commercial sector, previously servicing domestic and commercia customers. Turnover has increased by 75% and has also increased the companies profitability.”
- “SDE Roofing Ltd, incorporated on 19 May 2023 was incorporated as a subsidiary providing a complimentary service to other companies within the group and new external customers. This company ceased trading during the period, as a result of SDE Energy Solutions Ltd moving out of the domestic renewables sector.”
- “The company outgrew their own owned office space and moved into new, larger rented office accommodation in February 2025. This increased space makes daily operations and expansion much more attainable. The owned offices were immediately rented.”
