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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 director is very pleased with the performance of the business as the financial statements show that turnover has increased by 20.8% compared with the previous year.”
- “The increase in turnover is due to the company increasing its customer base through the signing of new contracts with major supermarkets and high street retailers.”
- “Despite trading conditions continuing to be difficult due to fluctuating exchange rates and increased supplier costs, the company has enjoyed another successful year.”
- “During the year HMRC accepted the settlement opportunity relating to the historic use of a Remuneration Trust by the company, which had been proposed by the Director in a prior period.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
