- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment the directors have considered, amongst other things, the recent and projected trading performance.”
Significant events
- “FY25 was a transition year for the Company following the buy-back, new finance system implementation, and a number of strategic decisions to simplify the operating model and exit non-core activities.”
- “During the year, the Board took the decision to exit the US market and to reallocate resources towards core geographies where the Company has established scale and more predictable unit economics.”
- “Between June and September FY25, the Company experienced material global supply chain disruption, resulting in stock-outs across a number of key product lines.”
- “the Company incurred additional one-off direct-to-consumer shipping inefficiencies during FY25 as a result of operational disruption.”
- “FY25 included a one-off transition of the finance function following a new system implementation. Additional accounting and advisory support were required to complete system stabilisation, address historical data and process remediation, and strengthen financial reporting and controls.”

Altman Z″
- Working capital / Total assets 0.211 × 6.56 = +1.39
- Retained earnings / Total assets 0.000 × 3.26 = +0.00

Bands: > 2.6 safe · 1.1–2.6 grey · < 1.1 distress. Z″ is a public-formula baseline, not a substitute for adverse-data signals (CCJs, charges, gazette notices) — those land in a later pass.
