- 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 group's and 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.”

- One Hundred Property Group Ltd 100%
Significant events
- “decrease in turnover of approximately 25%”
- “Reduced consumer demand and pricing pressure across core categories, driven by cost-of-living constraints and weaker discretionary spending, alongside lower seasonal demand due to unfavourable weather patterns.”
- “Planned pause in new product development during a refinancing period, temporarily limiting new launches and constraining growth in certain categories.”
- “Ongoing product portfolio rationalisation, with discontinuation of lower-margin lines, reducing short-term sales but improving long-term margin quality and profitability.”
- “Normalisation of luggage sales following the post-COVID period, as late-returning competitors re-entered the market, restoring pre-pandemic levels of competition and reducing previously elevated demand.”
- “Continued cost pressures associated with investment for the group's future growth strategy and wider market volatility, particularly in relation to exchange rate fluctuations, energy price volatility, wage inflation, freight costs, geopolitical instability and global supply chain disruption.”
- “The Red Sea remains a strategically important global trade route and ongoing geopolitical instability in the region has continued to affect international shipping operations.”
- “The escalation of conflict involving Iran during 2026, together with disruption risks affecting the Strait of Hormuz, has increased volatility within global energy, freight and international travel markets.”
