Going concern

Affirmed

“After reviewing the Company's financial position, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company, with the continued support of its parent undertaking, ICoNiChem Group Limited, has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Board report another challenged year of trading against a background of persistent headwinds in the macro-economic environment and within the industry. Sales volumes improved during the year, supported by increased market activity. The business continued to operate in a highly competitive and uncertain landscape, with significant inflationary pressures impacting cost structures and profitability. Cobalt prices remained volatile throughout the year, which further affected margins. However, cobalt prices began to show a steady recovery in the first half of 2025. The Board are confident that the business is well positioned to navigate these market dynamics and deliver improved performance and greater stability in 2025.”

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
