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

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “In fiscal period 2024, the Company realized a decrease in gross sales of 1.9% compared to 2023 driven by a major customer delaying orders to satisfy regulatory requirements in one of their foreign markets. The Company also made an intentional effort to exit lower-margin business to focus on growing with customers, providing stronger gross margin upside. Year over year, profits were higher due to a number of factors, namely passing on some of the import costs to customers through targeted price increases, lower operating costs driven by efficiency gains, and implementing cost reduction strategies in order to decrease fixed costs in the business. Cost of goods sold was lower in 2024 due to release of previous stockholding which had been purchased at lower costs coupled with lower freight costs from China than in prior years combined with significantly decreased purchases from China.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
