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
“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 and 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 year under review has been challenging for the company due to several factors that are out of our control: regional wars resulting in global, political and economic uncertainty, price rises from suppliers as inflation continues to have an impact, hyper-inflationary economies in certain of our overseas markets with associated currency valuation issues and embargoes on the import of non-essential luxury goods into some export markets.”
- “The group continues to closely monitor the impact of these factors on its worldwide business and liquidity, and believes, through the growing diversity of global markets and related income streams, it is well placed to see through the uncertainty.”
