Going concern

Affirmed

“The company has a satisfactory level of financial resources together with a solid base of existing customers and expertise in its field of operations. Consequently, the directors believe that the company is well placed to successfully manage its business risks despite the ongoing economic pres-sures. The directors, therefore, continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The assessment of going concern includes the impacts on the entity of inflation continuing to affect its cost base (particularly in relation to raw materials, utilities and staff wages and salaries), as well as the availability of labour, in the 12 months following the signing of these financial statements. The directors have given due consideration to the circumstances and have taken, and will continue to take, all appropriate steps to mitigate against these risks and the resultant economic conditions.”

Significant events

• “The July 2024 general election was called at short-notice and therefore the political marketing timescale cut significantly. This had an adverse effect on our anticipated sales as we produced less than half of what we would normally expect in an election year.”
• “Given the ageing condition of our 10-colour printing press, and the associated repair costs, we have taken the decision to invest in a second hand 8-colour LED UV printing press as a replacement.”
• “J. Thomson Colour Printers Limited granted a bond and floating charge to Lloyds Bank Commercial Finance Ltd on 12 May 2025 in connection with Bell & Bain Limited's new invoice financing facility, which was transferred from ABN Amro to Lloyds Bank Commercial Finance Ltd on that date.”

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
