Going concern

Affirmed

“A comprehensive stress test was conducted, assessing the Company's financial position, cash flow, liquidity, borrowing facilities, available headroom, and covenant compliance. It was necessary to include the holding company, The Reflex Group because of the interlinked funding arrangements. The test parameters considered a decline in sales volume, disruptions in supply chains, and adjustments to the underlying debt instruments interest rates. The result of the sensitivity analysis confirms that, even under unrealistically harsh assumptions, the business can continue to operate within the Group credit facilities for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As at the date of this report, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company with support of the Group has adequate resources to continue business in the foreseeable future. The Company has therefore continued to adopt a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The Company performed well in the face of a challenging set of macroeconomic circumstances. While sales improved only 1.2% to £91.1mn (2024 £90.0mn), this modest increase is indicative more of the economic background than of any slackening in momentum to grow our business.”
• “Overheads grew faster than turnover this year, for several reasons including the need to improve salaries faster than general inflation and the rate of increase in energy costs.”
• “While the macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop remains challenging, like all UK businesses, we are navigating pressures from changes in the national minimum wage and employer National Insurance contributions, both of which have far-reaching financial implications for businesses as a whole and the wider economy.”
• “UK business are currently facing many uncertainties such as environmental sustainability and geopolitical events including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.”
• “These uncertainties have contributed to an environment where there exists a range of issues and risks, including inflation, increased labour costs and supply side costs pressures.”

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
