“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During FY24 the company exited and sold it's manufacturing and warehousing site and transferred production to a Group facility in Europe and moved warehousing to a 3rd party.”
- “During transfer, revenue for both digital and retail was impacted which resulted in stock outs during the second half of FY24.”
- “The largest customer entered administration which inevitably drove a loss in revenue.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
