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
- “Despite ongoing inflationary pressures, higher logistics costs and continued volatility across global supply chains, the company has maintained a strong financial position and remains well placed for future growth.”
- “The business continues to benefit from long-standing, diversified supplier relationships, supporting consistent service levels for clients.”
- “Looking ahead, the company will take a measured approach to growth, with targeted investment in operational infrastructure and employees to help drive improved profitability.”
- “The company continues to deal with the impact of Brexit and COVID-19 on operational costs and regulatory administration which has heightened cost pressures on a low-margin business.”
- “Compliance with UK & EU regulations - particularly in relation to increasing environmental standards on the production of goods sold to these territories.”
- “Music merchandise sales are influenced by shifting consumer tastes, popular music trends, and economic conditions affecting discretionary spending.”
