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 Group's or the parent 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
- “In February 2025, we rolled out a new store concept at Edinburgh Airport, followed closely by a new location and store concept in Bath. We expect to refurbish two further locations during FY 25/26.”
- “In April 2025 and following a comprehensive review Brora is now B Corp Certified. As a B Corp, we're part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environment impact.”
