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

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months. Thus the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Income has decreased from £736k to £672k in the year. Expenditure has decreased from £680k to £634k in the year. This has resulted in a surplus of £38k in the year compared with a surplus of £56k in the prior year. This is in line with expectations tied to reduced costs for fewer starts and a fall in SDS income from the lower intake of apprentices during the year.”
• “Health and Safety Training - This aspect of the association has withered in recent years following Holyrood's placement of funding in the flexible workforce fund available only to colleges.”
• “EDETA in the past twelve months has worked hard to consolidate its apprenticeship programs with a credible intake in the past year and encouraging others to participate.”
