Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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

Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The current economic conditions present risks for all business. In response to such conditions, the Directors have carefully considered these risks, including an assessment of uncertainty on future trading projections for a period of at least 12 months form the date of signing the financial statements, and the extent to which they might affect the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Directors have confirmed that they believe they will continue to grow their revenues and net profits throughout the changing and challenging economic landscape as set out in the Strategic Report. The Directors envisage the Company will continue to be in a strong position with the support of The Gorilla Glue Company. The Statement of Financial Position is strong reflecting a net current asset position. Based on this assessment, the Directors consider that the Company maintains an appropriate level of liquidity sufficient to meet the demands of the business. In addition, the Company's assets are assessed for recoverability on a regular basis; the Directors consider that the Company is not exposed to losses on these assets which would affect their decision to adopt the going concern basis. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that least to significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
