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
Ratios

| Return on capital employed | 0.9% | 1.9% | |

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as there are no material uncertainties identified by the Directors that could cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern or honour its liabilities as they fall due for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There has not been any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature since the balance sheet date likely, in the opinion of the Directors, to significantly affect the operations of the Company, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs, in future financial years.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
