Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The fiscal year 2024/25 has been a year of adjustment and improvements, following years of significant transformation across the business. While external headwinds remained from continued geopolitical instability to currency and energy volatility, TMC has demonstrated strong adaptability.”
• “The general consistency and strength of the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar allowed us to maintain a consistent pricing strategy throughout the year, ensuring our market competitiveness.”
• “Although many businesses faced challenges with the energy crisis, at Tropical Marine Centre, it has spurred innovation. By focusing on energy efficiency and infrastructure upgrades, we have not only reduced costs but also positioned ourselves for long-term sustainability.”
• “Digital transformation: The new e-commerce and customer portal platform, launching in 2025/26, will enhance customer engagement and operational efficiency.”
• “Innovation pipeline: Ongoing development in livestock systems, coral reproduction, conservation projects, and control/monitoring technology will secure TMC's leadership in aquatics.”
• “Geographic expansion: Portugal remains a strategic hub for Iberia, while opportunities in continental Europe and international partnerships are being actively explored.”
• “Sustainability: We remain committed to reducing our environmental footprint through energy efficiency, logistics optimisation, and sustainable livestock sourcing.”

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
