Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company operates in the wholesale food and drink sector and has experienced significant cost increases during the year. These rising costs have placed pressure on margins and cash flows. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Significant events
- “In the year 31 December 2024, the company made a loss after tax of £534,075 which compares to a loss of £332,258 for the comparative period. The turnover has decreased by 17.6% compared with the prior year, however, the gross profit margin percentage has increased by 2.4%. Significant increases to rent and energy costs have meant that administration expenses have only fallen by 3%. Therefore, the combination of a fall in turnover and increased costs relative to turnover has meant Delitalia has seen a consecutive loss making period.”
