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

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the financial position of the company which shows healthy reserves and cash balances. They have not identified any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the company to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which is deemed to be at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. In forming their opinion, they have considered current and anticipated turnover, profit and cashflows. Going concern is presumed in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During the financial year ended 31st March 2024 turnover decreased by 38% to £7.6 million.”
• “The loss of the company has increased from £395K to loss of £487K.”
• “Further exchange rate fluctuations together with the potential deterioration of the UK economy has had an adverse effect on commodity prices.”
• “The company faces a number of business risks and uncertainties which, if they materialise, could effect its profitability, financial position or impact on it in other ways.”
• “The majority of the company's output is sold to a single retailer with outlets throughout Great Britain.”
• “One of the loans has been disclosed as due within one year because the company has failed to meet the terms of the loan covenant for this year.”
