- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The company has acquired and opened one new site during the year and has continued building stores on sites it currently owns with the intention for them to be open during the 2026 accounting period.”
- “The company has closed one underperforming store and is assessing other underperfoming stores with the intention to sell or rent to third parties.”
- “During the year the Company reassessed funding on loans to third parties, especially in relation to building developments, and assesses the recoverability of these outstanding debts. This has resulted in a significant bad debt provision during the year which effected the Company's operating profit.”
- “During 2025 the new stock control system became fully activated and is helping to improve ordering and wastage analysis at its stores and warehouse.”

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
