Going concern

Affirmed

“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company is part of the London Camera Exchange group and relies on the continued support of the parent company in managing its operational and financial requirements. The Board, of which some members are also directors of the ultimate holding company, have considered the financial requirements of the company within the context of the overall group strategy. This review has considered the future funding requirement for the group based on forecast sales and costs and taking into account any anticipated changes in the economic environment and how this will impact upon financial performance.”

Significant events

• “The result for this year is not entirely comparable to last year due to the transfer of the trade and assets of fellow group companies, London Camera Exchange Portsmouth Limited and London Camera Exchange Solent Limited, on 31 March 2024.”

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
