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

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 year in general saw increasing wool prices, in the UK prices rose as a result of supply factors. In the southern hemisphere, the indicator rose 3% although crossbred wools rose further from a low base. We saw more increased demand as a result in South America for wool, particularly from China.”
• “Turnover increased by 0.5% to £28.8 million in the financial year (prior year £28.6 million). This increase was attributable to a 5% increase in trading volumes, the product mix accounted for the balance.”
