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

“After reviewing the Company's forecasts and projections, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company can remain a viable, going concern for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Following the year end, the Board took advantage of a strategically beneficial opportunity to divest a number of its sites. The proceeds have been utilised to clear all bank debt and to reinvest into the development of a number of existing sites with a view to augmenting further the customer visitor experience at these forecourts. Surplus funds will be used to capitalise on other acquisition and development opportunities as and when they arise.”
