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 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.”
Group structure
- ORIGIN FRAMES LIMITED · parent
- Origin USA Inc 90%
- Origin Fenestration Limited 100%
Significant events
- “After a tax charge of £1.3m, dividends of £2.24m and a foreign exchange loss on consolidation of £0.075m, and taking account of the minority shareholder in the US subsidiary's share of that company's loss of £0.1m, the group retained profits of £126,000, resulting in net assets increasing to £22.1m. Due mainly to funding provided to the Company's parent to purchase some of the Company's shares and an associated company carrying out powder coating activities for the Company, cash balances decreased by £4.7m, to £10m; net current assets fell by £2.6m, to £20.1m.”
- “The launch of the powder coating business in Jan 2024 was part of the rationalisation of the supply chain effort and will drive efficiencies.”
- “the Sands site is coming to the end of its lease and the business is preparing to move to a purpose-built site close to the Cressex offices. This imminent move has slowed down the energy efficiency effort as the focus is now on making the new building as energy efficient as possible.”
- “On 28 October 2024, Origin Frames Limited ("Frames") became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings by way of a share restructuring to facilitate the retirement of two of its shareholders”
