- Affirmed
“The directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook that looks set to be prolonged with the conflicts in the Ukraine and Middle East and other issues. Based on the cash flow forecasts and consideration of economic conditions, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
Significant events
- “Sales have fallen during the year and were 12% down on the previous year, primarily due to a continued decline in demand across the industry and ongoing global conflicts.”
- “The Company's overall profitability fell during 2024/25.”
- “Brexit issues and global economic fluctuations continue to affect the business environment, leading to a decrease in demand.”

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
