Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared forecast information that takes into account estimates of future performance based on changes in the economic environment. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements through stocking loans which continue at current levels until amended or withdrawn. Based on discussions with lenders, no matters have been brought to management's attention to suggest facilities will not be continued. The forecasts prepared indicate that the company will continue to operate within its existing facilities. At 31 December 2024, the company had net assets of £5,812,484 (2023 - £5,184,819) and cash reserves of £2,048,492 (2023 - £2,927,834). Based on the forecasts prepared and the funds available, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its financing and other business risks satisfactorily, and have reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the signing date of these financial statements. They therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
