Going concern

Affirmed

“Trading conditions within the industry have remained challenging. However, the directors have continued to take action to restructure the business and significantly reduce the company's fixed cost base. In addition, as noted above, the directors have successfully secured a two-year extension to the group's bank mortgage facility. Recognising the continuing trading challenges and the limited level of cash reserves within the company, the directors continue to closely monitor cash flow through the regular preparation and review of detailed cash flow forecasts. The directors have prepared financial and cash flow forecasts covering the period to 30 April 2028. In the opinion of the directors, these forecasts have been prepared on a prudent and conservative basis and provide sufficient headroom, based on existing facilities and other agreed funding available to the company, to enable it to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due. While acknowledging that there can be no certainty that the forecasts will be achieved, the directors, having made appropriate enquiries and having considered the impact of the current uncertain economic environment, are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Ecodesign standards requiring significantly cleaner burning stoves came in to force on 1 January 2022 and therefore, all Arada products meet these requirements.”
• “2025 was another challenging year for the business. Demand for the company's products continued to decrease, being reflective of the conditions in the marketplace generally, resulting in a decrease in turnover from £4,750k in 2024 to £3,684k in 2025.”

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
