- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have reviewed detailed financial projections, including both profit and loss forecasts as well as cash flow forecasts and considered all reasonably foreseeable potential scenarios and uncertainties. The parent company has also offered financial support to the Company for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements have been signed. Taking this into consideration, the Directors are of the view that the Company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements have been signed and therefore continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis and that no material uncertainty exists.”
Significant events
- “Despite the continued challenging environment within the retail sector and the economy in general, Brevitt - Rieker Ltd has seen sales increase over the twelve-month period, with generated sales in 2024 of £37.5 million compared to £35.9 million in 2023. Gross margins increased in the period from 26.2% in 2023 to 27.1% in 2024. Rising supply chain costs and issues and general global economic conditions have led to a pre-tax loss in 2024 of £196,208 against a pre-tax loss in 2023 of £43,598. A return to profit is envisaged 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
