“The Company is expected to continue to be profitable and generate positive cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company has a net asset of £38.1m and a cash balance of £7.0m at year end... Based on the enquiries the Directors have made regarding future forecasts and available funding of Mapei group, the Directors believe that the Group has the ability to provide the support to meet the Company's needs over the period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

- “Subsequent to the year end, the directors have agreed to hive up the trade and net assets of Wykamol Group Limited at net book value, totalling to £3.4m into the company following a Transfer Agreement dated 31 January 2025, initially for loan consideration. This will result in the difference between the investment value and net assets hived up being transferred to goodwill 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
