“The Group made a loss in the year of £1,477,779, has net liabilities of £8,750,269 and net current liabilities of £9,046,882 which £9,774,204 is owed to related parties as described in the note below. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared projected cash flow information up to 31 December 2026, being the end of the next financial year and more than twelve months from the date of their approval of these financial statements. These projections reflect their latest view of the retail market and the speed of its recovery, taking into account the company's trading and other macro-economic factors. Those forecasts are dependent on the Group's immediate parent, Timothy Oulton International Franchise Limited, not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due from the Group. As at 31 December 2024 this amounted to £9,739,204. Another related party, Halo BVI (II) Limited, also provided financial support during that period. Both Timothy Oulton International Franchise Limited and Halo BVI (II) Limited have indicated their intention to make available such funds as might be needed by the Group for the period covered by the forecasts, as the Group fits into the strategy of future growth. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due from the date of approval of the financial statements through to at least twelve months from the date of their approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. We draw attention to the disclosures in the strategic report and note 2 to the financial statements in relation to going concern which describes how the company is in both a net current liability and net liability position and is reliant on the support of it's parent and fellow subsidiaries. Our opinion is not modified in this respect.”

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. 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
