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

“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 the 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
- “The group aims to continue its sales growth in core markets as well as exploring new and emerging markets and business sectors.”
- “Sales increased 20% on the prior year and the key strategy for the group is to expand its production capabilities in order to fulfil demand.”
- “The expansion of freehold property will further strengthen the group's capability of revenue generation and management are in-agreement the addition will provide further opportunities for the group.”
- “The group secured a loan of £1.25m resulting in a fixed charge over all assets of a member of the group and all other subsidiaries. Furthermore, a floating charge over all the other property, assets and rights of the subsidiary owned now or in the future which are not subject to an effective fixed charge.”
