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

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern basis remains appropriate, the directors have considered the Company's current financial position, recent trading performance, forecast cash flows and the availability of banking facilities. The directors are aware of certain factors which may cast doubt upon the Company's, and by association the Group's, ability to continue as a going concern but despite these pressures the directors remain confident the business will continue to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and that the company has sufficient support and resources available to manage these uncertainties effectively.”

Significant events

• “For the year ended 31 December 2024, the company reported loss after tax of £806,767 (2023: profit of £929,723) and had net liabilities of £605,007 (2024: net assets of £201,760). As a consequence, the parent of Around Noon (London) Limited, Around Noon Foods Limited, breached certain financial covenants attached to its existing bank loan facilities. Despite this breach, the bank has continued to provide ongoing facilities and support; however, the bank has not yet formally agreed revised terms. The Group has received confirmation in writing from the bank that they will continue to be supported and that the loan is not currently repayable on demand, despite the breach.”
