- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The company has net assets of £11.0m (2023: £14.1m). The company's ultimate parent company has provided a letter of support to enable the company to settle all liabilities falling due up to 31 December 2026. The directors have made enquiries and performed procedures to satisfy themselves that the group will be able and have the intent to provide the support pledged should it be called upon by the company during the assessment period.”
Significant events
- “extraordinary stock write-offs due to expiry date issues. These inventory concerns have since been resolved, and no further problems are anticipated.”
- “a write-off of certain intangible assets due to the termination of the migration to a new ERP system during the year.”
- “The 5.8% decrease in turnover is due to a combination of factors: decrease in sales in our sport nutrition side of the business due to some delays in purchasing from some key accounts and some other customers being directly managed by our immediate parent company Prinova Europe. In addition the profit decreased by £4.4m due to lower sales, stock and fixed assets write off and a non favourable foreign exchange position in 2024.”

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
