“The financial statements for the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The profit for the year to 31 December 2024 was £240,220 (2023: £312,485 loss). At the year end, the company had net assets of £2,544,803 (2023: £2,304,583) of which £(162,173) (2023: £2,405,075) related to overdraft balances held in Group treasury accounts. The Company is engaged in the selling of group manufactured products to other group companies and has no external customers and minimal external suppliers. As such it is dependent, for its continued existence, on its position within the wider group structure, although it does not require financial support from its parent entity. The directors, having made appropriate enquiries with the SGL Group have no reason to believe that there will be any change in this arrangement in the foreseeable future.”

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
