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
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors' assessment of the Company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included: - Review and analysis of the profit and cash flow forecasts prepared by management; Where appropriate, stress testing and sensitivity analysis on those forecasts; Discussions with management regarding the forecasts; - Confirmed that any group companies that have committed to support the company have sufficient resources to provide such support. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company was subject to enforcement action by the Health and Safety Executive ("HSE") following an accident at its Southam site. By 31 December 2025, the Company had complied with all notices issued and HSE had acknowledged this. However, subsequent to this, on 27 April 2026, the HSE confirmed that it intends to proceed with prosecution in relation to this matter.”
- “On 22 September 2025, a group company, DSI Holding GmbH, issued Senior Secured Callable Floating Rate Bonds, up to a maximum value of €150 million (the "Nordic Bond"). On 13 March 2026, the company granted security regarding the Nordic Bond as follows: - By way of first mortgage, all property in England and Wales, owned by it currently and acquired in the future; - By way of first fixed charge and a qualifying floating charge, all its present and future right, title and interest in all its assets.”
