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 Group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The expansion we mentioned last year has been completed and we moved in on 23rd May 2025. Operationally it will be streamlined and more efficient in despatching orders, stockholding and give continuous supply to our customers through planning and forecasting from one facility.”
- “Wares of Knutsford Limited has started to grow as we focus on wholesale, sales, as the market trend for online sales takes a slight dip, which we have experienced at Pattesons. Wares will continue to follow the blue print of Pattesons and continue to enhance our growth within the PAE group framework.”
