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. 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
- “The year ended 31 December 2024 was a good year in respect of sales and result... the gross margin was better. The result after taxation was significantly better. In 2024 the whole aquarium and pond market increased slightly. The target for 2024 was to improve the gross Margin and we succeeded. The stock level was still too high to our opinion, we are working on that. The cost of staff will also rise in 2025.”
- “Our expectations for 2025 are positive, our sales are now on a higher level, for 2025 we expect to grow in sales with approx. 7-8%. Furthermore we expect an increase of operational costs, mainly staff and transportation costs. We expect no problems in respect of our financial position and more specific our cashflow. In 2025 Aquadistri UK Ltd started well sales are up (with approx. 14%) in the first two months.”
