- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “During the financial year ending 2026, the Group's trading performance has been significantly affected by the loss of a major customer that accounted for 72% of gross sales in FY2025 (67% in FY2024). This loss has placed pressure on revenue and cash flow. To support the business through this period, the Group obtained a £200,000 loan from Equifyve Limited and a £330,000 loan from its shareholders. The Group also plans to complete a sale and leaseback of its property, with anticipated gross proceeds of approximately £3.8 million. The Parent Company breached a financial covenant attached to its bank facility in September 2025.”

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
