- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Parmarco Europe Group has incurred a loss after tax of £2,135,616 for the year and has net current liabilities of £361,407. These balances include a significant loan from the parent company of £3,174,066, which is repayable on demand. The parent company has confirmed that it will not seek repayment of this loan until the Pamarco Europe Group has sufficient funds available to make repayment and it will provide further financial support as required to ensure the Pamarco Europe Group can meet its liabilities as they fall due. Following a significant restructure undertaken after the year end-which included a reduction in operations and a substantial decrease in overhead and administrative costs-the directors have confirmed that Pamaroc Europe Limited is now trading profitably, and this position is expected to be maintained going forward. Taking these factors into account, and in light of the confirmed ongoing support from the parent company, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “With the recent acquisition of TLS Anilox in Salzkotten, Germany, and the imminent expiration of the Warrington lease in June 2025, a decision was taken to move all manufacture of anilox for the UK, Europe and Rest of the World into Germany beginning mid-2025. The German facility is a wholly owned building with property for future expansion if required. Key assets and know-how will be transferred during mid-2025, including necessary plasma spray & laser engraving equipment to absorb the increased capacity.”
- “Post year-end, the Group undertook a strategic restructuring of its Pamarco Europe manufacturing operations. The decision and announcement was made in 2025 and production was moved to TLS Anilox, another subsidiary of the Pamarco Group. The lease on the New Cut Lane business premises was vacated in June 2025. Dilapidations amounted to £235,000. The lease on the Bootle Lease ended in 2024. Dilapidations amounted to £25,000.”

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
