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

| Interest cover | — | -2.13x | -0.90x | — | — | 2.84x | 4.45x |
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. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through bank loans and intercompany loans. The company is in the process of developing a site with units being sold. Completion of the project is currently forecast to be profitable. The directors of City & Country Group Plc have confirmed that the company will continue to provide support for the foreseeable future. The company's forecast and projections, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the company will be able to operate with the continued provision of the intercompany loan. Accordingly, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Deferred consideration is payable in connection with the company's purchase of the development site held in work in progress. The remaining instalments are due on 31 December 2025 and 30 June 2027.”
- “The company has a £23,000,000 bank loan facility, repayable on demand with a final maturity in August 2026. At the year end this has been fully settled with the full £23,000,000 available for further drawn down.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
