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

“The Directors have prepared budgets and cashflow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. These forecasts are based on current market and economic conditions. The results of these forecasts show good improvement in both turnover and gross profit margins and thus cash generation. These historic and expected trading results have enabled the business to obtain adequate funding to facilitate future growth, including the addition of a National Distribution Centre, which will improve the functionality of the business in several areas. The business continues to go from strength to strength, therefore the Directors are confident that the business will exceed the prepared budgets and thus be able to fulfil its financial obligations. The business therefore continues to adopt the going concern policy in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In the financial year ending 28 February 2025, our business achieved revenue growth, rising from £34.7m in 2024 to £34.9m. Whilst this increase was not in line with the prior year's growth curve, we are pleased with the overall end result, particularly considering the many challenges faced during the year.”
• “Our 2025 objective is to enhance our product development capabilities to meet evolving market demands and strengthen our competitive position. This includes refining internal processes, expanding our product portfolio, and obtaining industry-standard certifications that underscore our commitment to quality and security.”
