Going concern
Affirmed

“The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its established bank facilities. Directors remain optimistic about the short-term outlook, driven by the consolidation of manufacturing operations onto a newly developed, purpose-built site. This strategic move is expected to enhance sales with existing customers, help win new business, and deliver cost savings across the business. As with many businesses, cashflow continues to be closely monitored, with particular attention to working capital management. The company's forecasts and projections, which incorporate reasonably possible variations in trading performance, indicate that it will continue to operate within the limits of its current financing arrangements. Subsequent to year end, HSBC have agreed to an increased overdraft facility of up to £500,000 available until 31 March 2026. In addition, the directors have identified a range of actions and financing options that can be implemented if required, ensuring that the company is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis 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
