  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to note 2.3 to the financial statements, which explains that, following the post year-end disposal of its three trading subsidiaries, the directors intend to wind up the parent company, Silverback Tea Company Limited. As a result, the parent company's individual financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The directors have considered the position of the three trading subsidiaries and are satisfied all three continue to trade well and are expected to meet all obligations as they fall due, accordingly the directors consider all three subsidiaries to be a going concern.

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.
