- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The effects of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have led to some disruption to the global supply chains and increases in product costs.”
- “The Company and wider group experienced a downturn in revenue in 2024 due to general economic uncertainty impacting the construction sector, in turn having a negative effect on the whole lighting industry.”
- “The Company's 2025 turnover has continued at a similar level to the prior year reflecting the uncertainty and lower levels of growth in the wider economy.”
- “The improved profit margins experienced in the prior years have been sustained thoughout 2025.”
- “Sales in the consumer lighting sector have seen promising increases in 2025.”
- “Alongside lighting, the Company has recently started to sell and install solar PV panels and associated products to non-residential customers.”
- “This has included involvement in some prestigious and sizeable projects.”

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
