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

- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed both income statements and cash flow statements for the period to 31 August 2026 to ensure they are satisfied that the company will have sufficient funds to be able to meet the liabilities of the company to at least this date. The directors' assessment includes a stress test which supports the ability of the company to cover its fixed costs in the event of an adverse but plausible reduction in sales. The company has a strong net current asset position to cover its liabilities and as such, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Competitive pressure in the UK and Europe is a continuing risk for the company, which could result in it losing sales to its key competitors.”
- “The company buys products from group companies within Europe and it is therefore exposed to currency movements on such purchases.”
- “The company's businesses may be affected by fluctuations in the price and supply of key raw materials and increased tariffs which can impact negatively on UK markets.”
- “A major uncertainty was the long-term impact from Brexit, increased bureaucracy and customs delays related to tariff classification, origin documentation and duty management.”
- “The recent cost of living crisis has had some dramatic effects on peoples work life balance, the company has taken swift action aimed at aiding employee's where possible with one off support packages.”
- “Retention of staff is a key concern and regular bench marking of salaries is undertaken with HR group support.”
- “Material availability and fluctuating material costs have been significant challenges in the past fiscal year with the new added challenge of customers now being overstocked with material with shrinking value, this is however forecast to change in the coming months.”
- “The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a widespread impact on the global economy as referred to above in the cost-of-living crisis.”
