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 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
- “increased turnover of 16% in the year. Gross profit margins have increased to 38%”
- “ongoing conflict between Russia/Ukraine and the impact that has on both worldwide supply chains and financial markets.”
- “UK firearms licencing continues to be a challenge for the UK firearms industry.”
- “company has continued to strengthen its position in the market and will continue to do so whilst remaining competitive.”
- “company is working towards gaining ISO 14001 accreditation”
- “During the year a subsidiary company ceased to trade, the balance owed to Highland Outdoors of £189,505 has been written off as irrecoverable in these financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
