- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe the company will be able to keep at a minimum the same level of profitable performance going forward, by keeping the focus on growing market quota, especially on automotive, furniture and apparel markets. The unaudited management accounts for June 2025 show that the company is in a profitable position and continues to have a strong balance sheet.”
Significant events
- “Revenue significantly decreased in fiscal 2024 as a result of a move away from using agents through the UK business.”
- “Operating profit for the year is £473,000, which represents a significant decrease. This decrease is largely due to the reduction in revenue as mentioned above.”
- “Net assets have seen an increase from £1,723,000 to £2,016,000 as a result of an overall net profit.”
- “At the date of approval of these financial statements, the world is now facing new challenges on post-Covid-19, as there continue to be high inflation rates in the US and Europe and interest rates fluctuate.”

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
