- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The economic climate created by recent Governments in the UK has not been conducive to growth and this has been coupled with rising costs. Despite this the company had a profitable year and continues to perform in a difficult market.”
- “The change in ownership of the group will bring benefits for the group, with representation at an important manufacturing plant giving us improved delivery lead times and more competitive sourcing for other product ranges. The focus will be to increase our eco-friendly range with all manufacturers and looking at other products which can be complementary to the stationery market.”
- “On 25 February 2025 Mr Yao Changyin became the ultimate controlling party of the group owning 100% of the shares. On 14 March 2025 Douglas Ashpole resigned as director and Mr Yao Changyin was appointed as director.”

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
