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 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

• “As we entered 2024, a combination of falling freight costs, customer cost price increases, stabilising FX rates and an increase in non-retail business opportunities had seen a recovery in gross margins from mid-2023 onwards. Unfortunately, these benefits were short-lived, as attacks on shipping through the Red Sea led to traffic being diverted around the Cape of Good Hope.”
• “Freight rates have stabilised in recent months and we would hope that they will fall further upon the Red Sea re-opening or as things stabilise on the Cape of Good Hope shipping route. Uncertainty does still remain, driven by wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, fluctuating US tariffs and demand spikes.”

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
