- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As of 31 December 2025, the Company has a net current asset position of $27,560,213 (2024: $26,137,671) and generated a profit after taxation of $1,666,714 (2024: $1,681,154). According to the 2026 budget, which is based on the customer sales forecasts, purchase order agreements, and operational expenses, it is expected that this net asset position will not decrease significantly with sales exceeding the monthly breakeven and sufficient cash available to pay the creditors. As such, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least one year from the signing of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company purchased a carbon offset for 100,000kg of CO2 to compensate the carbon emissions caused by the travel activities of its employees.”
- “One class B complaint was received by the Company in the year (2024: zero class A and zero class B); however, the matter was addressed swiftly, and business with this customer was not impacted negatively as a result.”
- “In December 2025, the Company's staff joined the non-profit organisation "Refugee Network International" in a homeless outreach event where volunteers distributed food, clothing, and other essential items to people living on the streets of London. On top of that, a donation of £3,000 was made to help support the fantastic work done by this organisation.”
- “On 11 July 2023, the UK Finance (No.2) Act 2023 enacted the Pillar Two income taxes legislation effective from 1 January 2024. The Company is within the scope of Pillar Two legislation. The group has assessed the impact of the Pillar Two income taxes legislation and concluded that there is no impact given that the Company tax rate is above 15%.”

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
