“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company is reliant upon the continued support of Korg Inc. ... Korg Inc. have signed a Parent Guarantee agreement which confirm they have a legal obligation towards the Company to ensure that the Company is and will remain financially equipped in such a way that it will be able to pay all its (due) liabilities to its creditors in due time at all times.”
Significant events
- “The most significant impact on the performance of Korg UK in comparison to previous years was the loss of Vic Firth Drumsticks distribution which negatively affected product contribution.”
- “a realistic commercial view was taken on the valuation of some areas of non-good stock leading to a significant stock write off.”
- “this has resulted in the company generating the largest loss in its history.”
- “In August 2022 we were made aware of a class action that has been raised against the five manufacturers, including Korg, following a CMA investigation.”
- “The auditor, MHA, previously traded through the legal entity MacIntyre Hudson LLP. In response to regulatory changes, MacIntyre Hudson LLP ceased to hold an audit registration with the engagement transitioning to MHA Audit Services LLP.”

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
