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
“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 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 economic environment and uncertainty in the construction market in which Air Plats Dust Extraction Limited operates proved challenging during the year. Continuing high interest rates has dampened activity with large capital projects being postponed. As a result, revenues were lower than the previous year. Efforts to control costs have proved effective which have delivered higher margins. The company is continuing to focus on new market sectors alongside activity within the traditional woodworking industries and has confirmed margin growth during a period of rapidly increasing direct costs. The current year has seen a slight reduction in revenue balanced by an improvement in profit margins.”
