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

Going concern

Affirmed

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

Significant events

• “The turnover of the garden centre has continued to increase and the business continues to be in a very healthy position.”
• “The business has continued to see growth during the year and post year end trading remains strong.”
• “A gross profit margin of 62% has remained very similar to the prior period of 61%, with all departments working hard to maintain margins.”
• “Employment costs have continued to rise, driven by high inflation and the rising living wage.”
• “Despite the well published pressures on disposable income, the directors are encouraged by the company's ongoing performance post period end, and revenues continue to rise.”
• “It is the company's intention to accumulate reserves so as to facilitate the development of an additional site or to acquire a similar business just outside local area.”
• “Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £2,500,000.”
