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 director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The year ended 28 February 2025 has seen turnover fall slightly compared to the previous year, which is reflected in a similar fall in gross profit. The effects of inflation in the UK have increased costs significantly, with the result that the years trading saw a reduced profit before tax of £476,114 compared to £1,463,529 in the previous year. In common with many other businesses in similar industries the directors believe the trading environment that the company operates in will continue to be challenging, although they remain optimistic for the future and are committed to increasing the turnover and profitability of the company in the future.”
• “The company operates in a competitive market with high levels of price sensitivity, which the directors take overall responsibility for. The process of risk management is addressed through a framework of policies, procedures and internal controls. The company operates a strong supply chain consisting of multiple suppliers across many areas, helping to minimise over-reliance on any particular supplier. The company remains exposed to periods of inflation and the variability of commodity prices, both of which impact on profitability. The company continually assesses any risks identified, with the aim of mitigating the threats these may have on the company's operations and profitability. The company is also exposed to pressures within the labour market and to wage cost inflation.”
