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
“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 Group's or 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

“The 2024/25 financial year has opened with a large forward order book and turnover should increase further. Research and development of existing and new bearings and technology will continue to facilitate further expansion. The Directors are satisfied with the underlying financial strength and progress of the Group, and the large UK and USA stock levels have been maintained to ensure fast delivery in the UK and in North America, and significant protection against global trade disruptions.”
