Significant events
- “The Directors acknowledge the impacts during the period of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East on the economies across the world. There has been high inflation which has impacted consumer demand, and general supply chain disruption and shipping issues, all of which has led to the business having another difficult year.”
- “Post year end we also saw an increase in US tariffs particularly on imports from China which have had a significant impact on our 2025 trading.”
- “In January 2025, FKA Distributing Co., LLC entered into a three-year Credit Agreement with a new lender increasing the credit commitment and availability, but at a higher interest rate compared to the prior credit agreement.”
- “As of the issuance of the financial statements, the planned 2025 new product launches have been kicked off and initial customer orders received, but the majority of planned selling efforts are still underway and actual sales are not expected to occur until the third and fourth quarters of 2025.”
