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

“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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “After the large growth in revenue in 2022, the current year has seen a small increase in turnover as the company has consolidated its place in the market.”
• “The gross margin has dropped significantly due to increased container shipping costs in 2024, with costs climbing to almost four times higher than what they were in 2023.”
• “The business has taken on more space to enable greater storage of the products and to ensure a continued speedy supply to customers.”
• “There has also been investment in additional personnel to improve operations and to facilitate the next stage of growth. This has resulted in increased overheads and lower profits in the year.”
• “The cash balances have decreased due to the extra stock and working capital requirement.”
