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

- 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 group's and the parent 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
- “The period to 31 December 2024 was a disappointing period for the Group, impacted primarily by a significant downturn in the USA customers. Turnover was reduced by 39.2% and gross margin decreased slightly from 33.8% to 32.4%, while gross profit was reduced by 42.4%. As a result of the downturn a Group reorganisation took place in December to resize the business.”
- “The election of a new administration in the USA and their commencement of an international tariff war has created uncertainty in the international arena. Our ability to grow back the USA market will be impacted. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza continue to impact the energy markets and global supply chain. The supply base has been to diversified thus reducing reliance on any one region or supplier, and we are diversifying the customer base and entering new markets and regions which takes time.”
- “The key business indicators are turnover, gross margin and net profit. Turnover was down from last year by 43% reflecting a significant reduction in business from USA customers, however gross margins were improved, reflecting the work done on diversifying the supply base. There was a net loss for the period and the company was resized accordingly in December.”
