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 group's and parent 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

• “In the current year, turnover dropped from £11,091,135 to £3,973,652, which is in line with forecasts and is due to the impacts of the Nutrient Neutrality planning permission moratorium on project delivery.”
• “Work In Progress was amortised through the year in line with house sales and land usage.”
• “The Balance Sheet remains robust, with the drop in current assets reflected with the corresponding drop in liabilities, as Big Sky Developments Ltd Work In Progress was reduced in line with sales of housing and land usage, and £3,000,000 of arranged borrowings in Big Sky Developments Ltd were repaid as scheduled, which is reflected in the minimal change in the Return on Capital Employed.”
• “Suitable mitigation has been secured to enable works to recommence in the first quarter of 2024/25 but this has had an impact on the timing of sales, which are now anticipated to complete in future financial years.”
• “Big Sky Property Management Ltd has continued to benefit from increasing house values with an uplift in the value of investment properties held of £284,600, which together with new additions, brings the total market value of the investment properties held to £9,416,502 up from £7,714,402 in the previous year.”
• “We are currently exploring a number of options to develop further sites, including those falling outside the Nutrient Neutrality Zone. These sites would offer the opportunity for the development of a further 100 homes and enable work to commence on site during 2026.”
