“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have considered relevant information, including the company's principal risks and uncertainties, the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty and that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Performance in 2025 sees the Company well placed to deliver ambitious growth for the year with sales to April 2025 13% ahead of the same position in 2024. Continuous improvement underpins strategic growth plans. Significant investment in IT is underway to deliver improvements in planning, costing & reporting. Factory improvements are also planned which will yield further efficiencies & maintain desired margin performance.”

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
