“The directors have assessed a number of factors as set out below and have concluded there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “2024 has been the most settled time for us in recent years. There are still conflicts ongoing across Europe and the Middle East but we have been managing these for some time now and have ways of working around these issues in place. Stock has been available across 2024 but we continue to closely monitor this and the affects that geopolitical changes may have on this supply. Net current assets dropped this year due to early partial repayment of the intercompany loan”

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
