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

“At the time of approving these financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Emil Keissling GmbH has confirmed that it will continue to provide financial support to the company and that it will not seek payment of the amount owed by the company, should that compromise the company's ability to trade. On this basis, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The company achieved a slight increase in turnover despite variable seasonal demand, alongside a strong improvement in profitability supported by product mix and effective cost management.”
• “The operating environment stabilised following a period of volatility in raw material cost and supply chains. However, cost pressures remain, particularly in labour and logistics.”
• “Management continues to monitor market conditions, competitor activity and cost developments closely to ensure the business remains responsive to external pressures.”
