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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 0.3% | -0.8% | |
| Net margin | 1.3% | 0.3% | |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 52.2% | 48.5% | |
| Current ratio | 1.77x | 1.92x |
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 adopted the going concern basis in preparing these accounts after assessing the principal risks and having considered the reduction in contract value with Bury Council which is now complete. Directors have taken into account forecast cash flows, liquidity and the expected operational activities of the company. We have assumed that our services remain operational.”
Significant events
- “In April 2025 HMRC announced that they no longer support these VAT groups, accordingly the VAT group will be disestablished at some point in the future. The timing of the cessation of the group VAT arrangement is not yet confirmed, work is ongoing to mitigate the financial impact of the additional costs that will result.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
