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

Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio	2022-09-30	2023-09-30	2024-09-30
Operating margin	—	4.2%	1.9%
Net margin	—	3.4%	1.4%
Return on capital employed	—	13.0%	5.3%
Current ratio	—	2.36x	3.06x
Interest cover	—	11.18x	6.77x

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.

Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Consolidated group
Auditor: Richardsons
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
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 group's and parent 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 results for 2024 reflect the challenging economic environment that has been faced, with inflation remaining above the Bank of England target, interest rates remaining high and weaker consumer demand... Actions taken have resulted in E. P. Barrus Limited gaining market share in most areas, with sales not reducing as much as the total market fall. Strict cost control and improved stock management have contributed to the profit achievement for the year.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
