Affirmed

“Notwithstanding the net liabilities at 30 April 2025 of £1,608,000 and profit for the year then ended of £2,805,000 the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through its positive cash balances. The company also has access to a substantial group wide cash pool arrangement which it can draw down on should the results and cash position require it to do so to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts to 30 April 2029 which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its ultimate parent company, Zumtobel Group AG, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on Zumtobel Group AG providing additional financial support during that period. Zumtobel Group AG has provided a letter of support stating its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company for the period covered by the forecasts. After making enquiries, including a review of forecasts, budgets and banking facilities, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to prepare the Financial Statements on a going concern basis.”

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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
