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
“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were approved. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “It has been identified due to an error, that distribution costs have incorrectly been presented below the gross profit on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income instead of being included in cost of sales above gross profit. This has been corrected in these financial statements, and as a result, the prior year comparatives have been adjusted to reflect an increase in cost of sales of £3,639,561 and a decrease in distribution costs below gross profit of £3,639,561. This has had no impact on the prior year profit for the year or reserves.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
