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

Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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. These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The results of the Company in the period reflect the Company's principal business activity, being a manufacturer and retailer of complete bicycles. In considering the Company's going concern the directors have obtained assurances from True Capital III LP that, if required, funds will be available to meet liabilities as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “FY24 saw post-COVID disruption begin to ease, with supply chain performance and delivery dates improving towards the year end as the mid-year ERP rollout laid the foundations for stronger availability and operational efficiency.”
- “As progress accelerated, post year-end saw the completion of a restructuring of the Company's funding from its shareholders, with an injection of additional loan finance alongside the conversion of existing debt into equity.”
- “Post period end on 25 November 2024, 17 December 2024 and 14 February 2025, True Capital III LP, a shareholder of the Company's ultimate parent company, Bradley Ultra Topco Limited, has agreed to provide three loans totalling £2,500,000 to the Company's indirect parent company, Bradley Topco Limited, which were onward lent on the same dates and under the same terms to the Company strictly on a short term basis.”
- “Subsequent to the period end, on 29 June 2025, £7,934,347 of intercompany loans owed by this company was converted into equity.”
