“On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position, resources, and future cash flows, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks. Additionally the directors received a letter of support from Zwilling JA Henckels AG, confirming it will meet the Company's financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, but at a minimum for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on the above the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

- “The closure of both Clarkes and Wembley stores again drive profitability but leave us open to look for more retail opportunities.”

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
