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

“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. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Since the price escalation of 2022 we have enjoyed a period of relative stability. However, as we embark on 2025 there is increased economic uncertainty created by the threat of a trade war.”
- “In 2024, Exol purchased the site and warehouse adjacent to its All Saints Road premises which provided the business with direct access to the nearby A4038.”
- “Exol will receive the prestigious Kings Award for Enterprise for International Trade in May 2025, recognising the company's outstanding growth in overseas markets.”
- “In mid-2025 Exol will commence work on replacing Microsoft GP with Business Central which we expect to be fully rolled out on 2026.”
