Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- BHP LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared budgets and forecasts which cover a period to at least December 2025. These show that company is able to operate within it's facilities during this time and meet it's liabilities as they fall due. The company is reliant on the support of a related party which is a key customer, through expected purchase levels. The related party also has loans due to it which are not expected to be recalled during the going concern period in line with the terms of the loan. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Strong own brand performance in both domestic and export channels has mitigated a reduction in sales to our main commission customer and helped facilitate a positive year end result.”
- “The addition and Y1 performance of our new distribution partner in North American and Canadian territories has been one of the highlights of the year.”
- “During the reporting period, global supply chains have become increasingly difficult to manage. Procurement of key raw materials continues to be a challenge.”
- “At 31 March 2024, the company had entered into supplier contracts to the value of £1,930,999 (2023: £3,255,528).”

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
