Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have assessed the period up to 31 August 2026; being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In 2024, the Company maintained a high level of sales and operating profit despite a challenging macro economic environment and a downturn in global luxury. The Directors focused on investing in the Company's D2C expansion strategy whilst balancing an increase in working capital. At the end of 2024 the Company maintained a solid cash position with a liquidity ratio of 2.71. Numerous cashflow forecasts have been prepared... After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. No material uncertainties in relation to going concern have been identified. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

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
