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

“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 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 company continues to operate successfully despite a challenging economic backdrop and a period containing fewer major historical anniversaries relevant to its core product range.”
• “Higher instalment debtor balances increase the risk of default, and provisions are adjusted accordingly.”
• “On 18 May 2022, Hattons of London Ltd was acquired by Hattons of London Trustees Limited on behalf of Hattons of London Employee Ownership Trust. The total consideration consisted of cash and an element of deferred consideration.”
