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.

Audit opinion

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 new greenhouse is now a fully functional and complimentary extension to the retailing area and it's changing seasonal contents have encouraged sales to flourish throughout the year.”
• “The Hollies House at Little Budworth has been refurbished and now offers specialised seasonal gift displays for Halloween and Christmas, again complimenting the retail offerings of the farm shop.”
• “Our site on Tarporley High Street is now open in its format as a small localised Hollies Market.”
• “Ongoing plans include the refurbishment of our main farm shop in Little Budworth, to accommodate a larger delicatessen provision and more streamlined takeaway offering.”
• “A new toilet block facility is also being built on site.”
• “We continue to develop our farm at Delamere for both horticultural and leisure purposes. Work has commenced on this project now with utilities being installed on site. The creation of a new coffee shop and the general development of the site for tourism and for residents to enjoy, is all now coming together in our business planning.”
• “This year has been challenging, primarily due to rising stock costs and a significant increase in instances of theft. The company continues to internally audit and streamline its purchasing and pricing policies, along with its stock levels. The company has also installed additional CCTV and surveillance systems, along with magnetic security tag systems, to protect itself against stock loss.”
