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

- Auditor
- Dyke Yaxley Limited
- 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.”
Significant events
- “Following several years of growth, the current year saw the business incur a reduction in the level of turnover of 6.9%.”
- “The demand for the house building sector is expected to continue for at least several years so we are optimistic about the future. We intend to keep a considerable reserve against any possible recession but also to keep a significant cash balance to allow us to invest in local land should the opportunity become available.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
