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.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

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 increase in turnover follows continued investment into, and expansion of the Swan Hotel, and due to the fact that the Cromwell is now firmly embedded as a community asset, following almost 10 years successful business building initiatives.”
• “The reduction in profitability is a result of increased interest and staffing costs relating to the refurbishment of an additional 49 bedroom leasehold hotel, Brownsover Hall, due to start trading as a new luxury proposition in the next financial year, the continuation of construction of a new extension to the Swan Hotel that will provide an additional 24 bedrooms and staff offices, continuing high utility costs and increased staff wage costs.”
