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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared prudent, sensitised forecasts including cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. During the year the company generated profits of £1.543m (2024: £2.405m) and as at the balance sheet date is in a net asset position of £7.883m (2024: £6.340m). Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “At 31st March 2025, the Company had confirmed orders in the amount of £1.056m for UK operations (2024: £0.925m) and orders amounting to US $2.073m for Zeon Far East Group business (2024: $1.287m).”
- “As global customers continue to be focused on making purchasing decisions based on value and price promotions we expect a competitive marketplace that will continue to squeeze margins within the traditional distribution channels, in particular through our retail partner network. As a result, we are continuing to invest in all our direct to consumer channels and digital platforms to maximise the bigger margins enjoyed through this part of the business.”
