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

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information including the annual budget, forecast, future cash flows and impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. The executives have performed a robust analysis of forecasts and future cash flows. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Significant events
- “Blue Skies UK has been able to expand through its entry into a new range of products based on, but not exclusively, fruit. Tarts, jellies, breakfast pots and desserts have all enjoyed significant growth.”
- “2024 is the first year Blue Skies (UK) Limited is in scope for Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR).”
