Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, a baseline 10% tariff on almost all foreign imports to the US has been introduced, with significantly higher tariffs being imposed on imports from some countries, most notably China. The UK and other governments are responding by seeking to negotiate trade deals, whilst other nations have imposed their own retaliatory tariffs. Faced with uncertainty the directors have taken prompt steps to reduce the groups exposure to the US tariffs.”
- “The group has successfully completed a refinancing arrangement with Santander subsequent to the year end, which has improved the group's liquidity position.”
- “In addition an adjustment of £1.8m has been made to the contingent consideration provision in relation to the acquisition of ZIIP Inc in April 2022 (see note 27). Management have revised their estimate of the consideration due, based upon their expectations of the targets that will be met.”
