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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. In considering the appropriateness of the going concern basis management have considered budgets and forecasts that have been prepared for future trading of the company. Funding for the company is obtained from its parent company and the continued operation of the company is dependent on funds provided by the Group.”

Significant events

• “This ongoing Russia - Ukraine conflict has resulted in going concern becoming a significant risk. The impact of the sanctions may result in difficulties for the company to operate. Neither Fern-Howard Limited nor the owners are currently on the sanctions list at the time of this report, however this may change as the situation changes.”
