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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Turnover has dropped due to a fall in market prices and this has had a slight effect on margins which is inevitable.”
• “The company's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including price risk, credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk.”
• “The company manages credit risk in respect of trade debtors by regularly monitoring credit limits and balances outstanding. The company's credit risk relating to its trade receivables is considered to be limited due to the credit insurance policy that is in place to minimise this risk.”
• “The company has limited exposure to liquidity risk as a consequence of having limited external borrowings.”
• “The company is exposed to commodity price risk, particularly oil prices.”
