Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year, turnover increased by over 10% due to a combination of organic growth and through the diversification of core product offering.”
- “Operating costs increased as a proportion of revenue, primarily due to inflationary pressures affecting the wider economy.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
