Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of signing these accounts, the directors have considered the going concern position, including forecasts and future plans, and are satisfied that the company will continue to trade for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. On that basis, the directors have prepared these accounts on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The Company continues with a number of strategies to increase trading activities. Stock levels increased due to sourcing new products and this in turn with growth in certain key customers had some impact on cash and bank balances. The directors believe that the Company continues to be in a strong position due to its position in the market and ability to offer an extensive range of products from its distribution agreements. The directors believe that growth will be maintained due to new supplier distributions and new customers, along with growth in turnover from existing customer accounts and supplier distributions.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
