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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 remained strong and continued to grow, with revenue achieving a 12% increase.”
• “The business has been active in updating its fleet to more modern machines which have less environmental impact, enhancing stock availability, whilst continuing to streamline and dispose of aged assets.”
• “Since the balance sheet date, but before the date of the approval of the financial statements, the company has purchased new plant and machinery totalling £1.5m, including capital commitments, which has been funded using Hire Purchase finance. The company has also disposed of plant and machinery with the value of funds generated being £785,070.”
