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.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The group has a satisfactory level of financial resources together with a solid base of existing customers, and expertise in its field of operations. As a consequence the directors believe that the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and so continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The group continues to engage in property development. We recently sold development land at Dunfermline and Kelty and we continue to negotiate sales at Luncarty and elsewhere.”
• “The directors consider principal decisions to be those decisions which are of key strategic importance to the group and affect one or more groups of stakeholders. Some examples of such principal decisions are the investment in its English civil engineering operations to ensure a strong geographic coverage for the group, the continued re-investment in the group's own fleet of earth moving heavy plant to win key contracts in Scotland and the ever diversifying nature of the business to create a strong and resilient balance sheet.”
