“The Company is a trading company within the Wourth Group Limited group, which provides a treasury function for the wider group. The Company continue to trade profitably and generate positive cash flows, which ultimately can flow into the wider group to aid cash flow. The Company has net assets of £2.6m (2024: net liabilities of £0.6m). The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Company which show that even when factoring in a possible downturn in consumer spending and the seasonality around product purchasing and sales, sufficient cash resources are available to finance its own trading for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements without the need for amounts owed by group undertakings to be repaid. These cash flow forecasts are before any additional amounts are transferred out as part of the group treasury function.”

- “This represents the first full year of trading for the company, having been set up to acquire the brand following Administration in July 23.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
