Going concern
Affirmed

“The profit for the financial year amounted to £10.1m (2023: £1.0m loss), the net current liability position is £28.1m (2023: £37.4m) and the net asset position is £63.7m (2023: £53.6m). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate due to the continued support of the ultimate parent company and the strength of the ultimate parent Company's statement of financial position. In reaching this conclusion the following actions have been undertaken. The directors have received written assurances from its ultimate parent Fiskars Oyj Abp of its ability and intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company. The directors have also prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its ultimate parent company, Fiskars Oyj Abp, to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
