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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. In all scenarios, 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

• “Following the transfer of the trade and assets of Gallinee UK into Shiseido UK and the payment of a dividend of £2,964,484 to Shiseido UK, Gallinee UK was placed into liquidation on 24 December 2024.”
• “On 1st October 2023, there was a group restructure whereby the Company went from being a 100% owned subsidiary of Shiseido Americas Corporation to a 100% owned subsidiary of Shiseido Europe SA, based in France.”
• “As part of the restructure in the current year the Company converted these preference shares (together with the accrued interest thereon) into 63,516 ordinary shares... resulting in an increase to share premium of £19,549,661.”
• “The directors have proposed a final ordinary dividend in respect of the current financial year of £7,000,000 (£41.30 per share). This has not been included within creditors as it was not approved before the year end. This was subsequently paid on 27 March 2025.”
