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

Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared by the directors under the going concern basis. The group continues to closely monitor and manage its funding position to ensure that it has access to sufficient funds to meet forecast cash requirements. The group's solid equity base and headroom within its banking facilities, including the invoice financing facility, provides it with the financial strength to deal with the impact of any foreseeable business transactions. As a result, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and accordingly the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
