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 carried out a detailed and comprehensive review of the business, its future prospects and its ability to meet its obligations as they fall due. In the opinion of the Directors, the Company is expected to be able to continue trading within the current arrangements and consequently the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Group's financial results for the period covered by this review, from September 2024 through the end of August 2025, showed a significant improvement on the prior year with robust sales growth and much-improved profitability leading to a strong, positive EBITDA contribution for the year.”
- “Our turnaround efforts, mentioned in last year's report, progressed well in several underperforming areas of the business, including continued strong performance of the Monsoon ladies business and a return to growth of the Monsoon childrenswear business after a complete overhaul of its product designs and merchandising strategy.”
- “The Company's sales for the year were £83.5 million, reflecting improved performance of its own web business and expansion of its third party marketplace partnerships.”
- “EBITDA was a loss of £1.4 million and loss after tax was loss of £1.6 million as the company continued to invest in its ladies and childrenswear offerings and in its marketing presence in the UK.”
- “The loss for the 52-week period ended 30 August 2025, after taxation, amounted to £1,557,000 (2024 - loss for the 53-week period ended 31 August 2024 was £4,103,000).”
- “No dividends were paid during the 52-week period ended 30 August 2025. The company paid a dividend of £1,000,000 to its parent entity during the prior period.”
