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 Board have also considered a number of wider macro-economic factors, including inflationary pressures, interest rates, and the geopolitical impact on supply chains. The Board do not consider that the business carries a significant exposure to these factors that it is unable to adequately manage. On that basis, the Directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Subsequent to the year end, the Group completed an internal reorganisation to simplify the holding structure. For Cooke Optics Limited, the key change was the transfer (novation) of the shareholder loan facility from Chaplin Bidco Limited to the Company. The facility was initially novated at £15.0 million and, following the transfer, the Company drew a further £2.1 million, resulting in a year end balance of £17.1 million included within other loans.”
• “On 17th February 2025, the company undertook a reorganisation and recapitalisation. £21.2m of existing indebtedness was converted to equity through the issue and allotment of 1,500,317 ordinary shares leaving £15m of debt. A facility of £7m was also created and the directors do not believe there to be a cash flow and liquidity risk.”
• “Subsequent to the year end, the Group completed the final legal steps associated with the internal reorganisation. This included the finalisation of intercompany balance realignments and the capital reduction necessary to simplify the structure above Cooke Optics Limited, resulting in the balance sheets of Chaplin Midco Limited and Chaplin Bidco Limited being wound down and the ownership of these companies, together with Cooke Optics Limited, being transferred to become directly owned subsidiaries of Chaplin Topco Limited. These matters were completed after the year end and have no impact on the statement of financial position or the results reported for the year.”
