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

“The directors have conducted a detailed review of the business and as a consequence believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. In addition, the parent company has provided a letter of support confirming that it will ensure the company has access to sufficient funds until at least 30 June 2027.”

Significant events

• “Strong demand for our products in both the autumn and spring peak periods contributed to a 5.3% increase in turnover.”
• “A move in product sales mix towards our higher margin product sectors, combined with the benefits of economies of scale from recent investments in automation, have resulted in a 3.3% increase in average gross margin, reversing the decrease in margin from last year.”
• “Administrative costs rose by 6.7% compared to last year, which reflects inflationary pressures combined with the costs associated with the additional volumes.”
• “Lower average borrowing rates and a reduction in borrowing have resulted in decreased interest costs, which has contributed to the 95% increase in Profit on ordinary activities before taxation.”
• “Average number of employees has dropped to 108, down from 111 last year.”
• “The company has granted an indemnity to one or more of its directors against liability in respect of proceedings brought by third parties, subject to the conditions set out in section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. Such qualifying indemnity remains in force as at the date of the approval of the directors' report.”
