“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider appropriate for the following reasons. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements from operational cash flows, together with an intercompany debtor and trading balances with the group headed by Stichting Continuiteit IHC, the ultimate parent company.”
Significant events
- “The 2025 result includes two significant non-recurring items. Firstly, an impairment charge of £5.15 million was recognised against finished goods inventory following a review of its net realisable value. Secondly, the Company recognised a £12.0 million credit arising from the release of a provision established in prior years, following an assessment of the underlying obligation.”
