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 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

• “There was a strong demand for Litho products from Apollo Inks & Coatings, which continued from 2024. A switch from screen to offset in many areas was evident. Sales to North America had been affected by the new tariffs imposed early in the year by the USA.”
• “Long lead times for raw materials were increasing due to many distributors no longer being stockiest but order takers. The failure of many distributors to stock materials and imposing minimum order quantities has meant a large stock increase for certain products.”
• “A Home Office ruling on the classification of Gamma Butyrolactone as a drug announced at the end of 2021 has still not been clarified.”

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
