“The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future after forecasting cash flows and considering risks and uncertainties, including the impact of inflation and the ongoing war in Ukraine and Middle East. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The UK adopted its own international trade policy from 1 January 2021, including a new free trade agreement with the EU-27, as well as a new UK tariff policy and trade agreements with other countries around the world. This has meant the business has lost market share in sales to the EU-27, as well as to Northern Ireland.”

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
