- 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 Group's or the parent 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
- “At the conclusion of the 2024/2025 financial year, one of the subsidaries, Pluss CIC made the strategic decision to exit the wood-based manufacturing industry. This move was driven by sustained. poor profitability and an unacceptable risk profile associated with the sector. Following discussions with interested parties, Pluss CIC agreed to sell the relevant assets to a suitable acquirer operating within the sector. The transaction was subject to scrutiny by the CIC Regulator to ensure compliance. with community interest principles, which were duly tested and upheld. Proceeds from the sale of the assets amounted to £302,420. The transaction was completed in August 2025, including the novation and/or transfer of all assets, leases and commercial arrangements related to the Barnstaple site and operations.”

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
