- 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
- “During the period the Group opened one new outlet store and launched on two new online marketplaces with a UK and European customer base. The Company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation (EBITDA) and exceptional costs during the period were a loss of £2.6m (2024: loss of £0.5m) as financial results lag behind the strategic changes underway in the business.”

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
