Going concern

Affirmed

“We are confident that the company remains in a strong position. Having assessed the cash and other funding available to us, alongside the support of the KONG group worldwide, we are confident of the ability of the company to continue to trade and accordingly, these financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Turnover decreased this year by 8% which is attributable to factors such as a reduction in disposable income of an average household, the wholesale market losing trade to other market sectors, customer inventory levels being sup-pressed as a way of dealing with market uncertainty and changes in customer strategic plans and processes unfortunately leading to a reduction in activity.”
• “The company remains cautious as it moves into the 2025 financial year. 2024 has again shown that even in times of economic uncertainty people across Europe have continued to purchase KONG products for their pets who are often regarded as part of their family. Our supply chain has remained resilient in meeting the demand for our products.”
• “However, the long-term economic impact of the pandemic is still unclear and that, coupled with the uncertainty in the economic outlook of the UK and Europe, means the company has to observe and react to any changes to consumer demand as the effects of the pandemic disperse.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
