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 company has recorded a loss after tax of £921k (2023: £269k loss after tax) for the year ended 31 December 2024, has net current assets of £211k (2023: £1,197k) and net assets of £175k (2023: £1,096k) as at 31 December 2024. Substantially driving the increased loss and decline in current and net assets is a £565k write off of the deferred tax asset during the year (a non-cash item). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis by the directors following a detailed assessment of the company's ability to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of authorising the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Trading conditions remained challenging in 2024 in a mature and highly competitive marketplace. The directors are confident that the investment in new Morgan Philips brands will result in future growth, improved market share and an upward trajectory in its operating results.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
