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
“The Board of Directors is required to consider the company's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors are confident that the company can continue to trade successfully and continue to provide an excellent and reliable service to our customers for the foreseeable future because we have a satisfactory order book from well-established customers and we have a £2.2 million balance sheet and consistent profits. Thus we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The directors are pleased to report a better year with profit up to £752,000 from £278,000 the year before despite the competitive low margin environment in which we operate and despite continuing challenging economic conditions and global turbulence.”
- “We continued our significant investment in our people, in health and safety, training, technology and innovation.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
