“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Current year revenue increased by 32.99% on the prior year to £10.32m from £7.76m, mainly due to increases in 3rd party packing and tenant income.”
- “The business has spent money on legal fees for installing the solar over the past year as well as removing oil & gas boilers and installing LED lighting in 100% of the building, to counter the rises in energy.”
- “We have also focused on production line efficiency, which is really starting to show good cost savings already, this should make a positive impact on cost reduction.”

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
