“At the date of approval of the financial statements, the directors have reviewed the cash flow forecast. The Company is forecasted to record a loss in 2025; however, the planned restructuring of the parent group aims to return the Company to recording profit levels seen before 2022. Forecasts for the next 5 years have been prepared and show a profitable position and generate positive operating cashflow. Based on their assessment of the Company's financial position, the Company's Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue undertaking the principal business activity outlined above for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and that it has sufficient reserves during the period to meet liabilities as they fall due. The company has generated losses before tax of £355,779 in the current year and loss before tax of £375,148 in the prior year. The company has cash balances of £790,631 (2023: £526,732). The Company has net assets and is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows for the foreseeable future. It has a strong portfolio of geographically diverse customers and expects to grow steadily in the coming years, leveraging its recent investments. The Company participates in the Group's centralised treasury arrangements and has access to the banking arrangements of its parent and fellow subsidiaries if required further to support future investment and growth opportunities. A letter of support has been provided from the parent company confirming that they will continue to provide support to the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due and continue its operations as a going concern. Whilst trading conditions were subdued during the first half of 2024, stability has returned to demand in the second half, with some variability as some geographical regions continue to be impacted by inflationary pressures. This stability has continued into 2025 and is expected to continue going forward. The company will look for further opportunities in what it perceives to be underdeveloped markets, as well as invest in new technology around the production process, and is constantly working with a wide range of partners to improve the products and services it provides. As a result of the above, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis for accounting for the preparation of the annual financial statements”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
