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

“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

• “Production difficulties at our main suppliers resulting in our inability to fulfil orders in a timely manner or indeed potentially at all.”
• “Decisions by our principal suppliers to curtail or discontinue to manufacture products which may be key to our business.”
• “Identifying new sources for existing and new products and entering into agreements with them.”
• “Rationalisations within our customer base can result in loss of business.”
• “Price competition, exchange rates and tariffs.”
• “Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's tangible and intangible assets including goodwill. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset.”
