  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The directors have made the decision that the Company will cease to trade within the next twelve months, though they have not yet determined whether the Company will be left dormant to potentially utilise in the future, or whether it will be liquidated. As a result, the financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Material uncertainty disclosed

Significant events

• “After the restructure of the business operations in 2022, the business changed to a management operation only, supplying cross functional management resources to other businesses in the group structure.”
• “In early 2024, all UK employees Tupe transferred over to SEE UK. LB Europe is moving towards being made a dormant company, and then will potentially be wound up.”
• “During the year ended 31 December 2022, UK operations were further reduced, with all manufacturing operations moving to other entities within the Group, and the Wythenshawe site was closed. The key stock and manufacturing assets were sold primarily to LB Spain, which generated other operating income of £1,916,400. This process was finalised during the year ended 31 December 2023, resulting in the final exceptional items shown above.”

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
