Going concern

Affirmed

“Having considered these factors and the Company's financial position, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The turnover decreased by 15% in 2024 comparing to previous year. Gross profit decreased from £25m in 2023 to £19.4m in 2024. The loss before tax increased from £1.5m in 2023 to £7.9m in 2024.”
• “Inventory build-up occurred in anticipation of seasonal customer demand and to hedge against logistical disruption, but some of this stock was revalued downward during the year, affecting margin.”
• “The move to an operating loss in 2024 was driven by: • Lower margins on sales as noted above. • Increased operating costs associated with restructuring activities. • Some one-off items, including stock revaluation and legacy contractual settlements.”

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
