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

“The Directors/members have considered all factors, including in the wider economy, as part of their assessment of going concern. On 1 April 2024, the business, operations, staff, assets (excluding grant funded fixed assets) and liabilities, net of cash balances, were all transferred to UK Agri-Tech Centre Limited as part of a merger. This company now retains fixed assets which are managed by UK Agri-Tech Centre Limited who collect and pass on rent to this entity. Therefore, the directors believe, on balance, that they have sufficient resources to enable the company to continue for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, on the basis of the information currently available to them as al the point of approval. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 1 April 2024 a merger was enacted and the operations of this entity were transferred to UK Agri-Tech Centre Limited, the new parent entity.”
- “As per note 1.2, the core operations of Crop Health and Protection Limited were transferred to UK Agri-Tech Centre Limited as part of a merger. This transfer included the business, operations, staff, assets (excluding grant-funded fixed assets), and liabilities, net of cash balances. As a result, the company ceased its core income-generating activities from that date.”
- “The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 reflect a run-off period, during which residual income was generated primarily from commercial activities associated with the management of retained fixed assets. These assets are now overseen by UK Agri-Tech Centre Limited, which collects and passes on rental income to Crop Health and Protection Limited.”
- “Going forward, the company is expected to generate residual commercial income from the continued letting of these assets. No further core income, which amounted to £202,402 in the current year (2024: £4,460,360), is anticipated in future periods.”
