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

“The directors have reviewed and considered the company working capital requirements and the directors are of the opinion that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. They therefore consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
