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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The company has experienced a decrease in market demand, due to high levels of inflation and increasing interest rates. Several customers are delaying large projects due to the current economic climate, resulting in an expected downturn in demand. As a result, the company is putting processes in place to help boost plant hire and quarry income streams, to reduce the impact of the downturn in market demand.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
