“The company has made a loss for the financial year of £228k (2024: £233k). The company has a healthy balance sheet with net assets of £6.82million (2024: £7.04million). During the year and post year end the company breached the covenants on loans in relation to EBITDA with one of its banks. The company has advised the bank of this breach and is currently in correspondence with the bank over this matter. The loans total value amounts to £1.52million (2024: £1.41m) however the net assets are far in excess of the value of the loans as described above. The bank has secured the total loans by way of fixed and floating charge over the assets of the company and if they recalled the loans, liquid assets are available to settle. As at the date of signing of the accounts the bank has not recalled this loans. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

- “The Company has recently signed a joint venture agreement with a major retailer which will open up greater business opportunities in the years to come.”

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
