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

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 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

• “During the year, the directors took the decision to undertake a rationalisation of group intracompany balances as well as a restructuring of the shareholders by the repurchase of own shares from one of the minority shareholders. The impact of this has been to reduce the consolidated balance sheet total of the group by some £2.8m.”
• “Having commissioned a study on solar power and power storage last year we are having this installed along with a facelift on the front of the building. The solar panels and battery energy storage will safe a significant amount of money going forward as well as reducing our operations effect on the environment.”
