- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern

Significant events
- “Following recent investments across the estate, the Altrincham store-now dedicated exclusively to our expanding DMR jewellery range-reopened on 15th May 2024 after a three-month closure and full refurbishment, aligning it with the high standards of quality and luxury seen in our other showrooms.”
- “Despite the above we made the decision to invest in our future in St Ann's Square in Manchester with the acquisition of the freehold for Equitable Building, which currently houses our Manchester showroom. This secures our presence as a key driver of the area as the strongest luxury retail destination in the UK outside of London.”

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
