- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered the future funding requirements of the business and, based on management forecasts, have concluded that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, on 30 September 2025, the Company announced the closure of its store located in Bicester, with the rental space to be returned to the landlord. There is no financial impact arising from this announcement in these financial statements, however, operating lease commitments will reduce by £258,000 per year going forward.”

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
