1.2
Going concern
The Company is a trading company within the Wourth Group Limited group, which provides a treasury function for the wider group. The Company continues to trade profitably and generate positive cash flows, which ultimately can flow into the wider group to aid cash flow. The Company has net assets of £7m (2025: £6.2m) when including amounts due from group undertakings totalling £6.1m (2025: £5.0m). The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Company which show that even when factoring in a possible downturn in consumer spending and the seasonality around product purchasing and sales, sufficient cash resources are available to finance its own trading for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements without the need for amounts owed by group undertakings to be repaid. These cash flow forecasts are before any additional amounts are transferred out as part of the group treasury function.
Furthermore, in assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, given the existence of a group treasury function and the support this can provide, the directors have made reference to the going concern note as disclosed in Wourth Group Limited as shown below:
“The Group is exposed to trading risk in a highly competitive retail sector. The Group is susceptible to a possible downturn in consumer spending, influenced by factors such as a reduction in disposable income and changing interest rates. However, the Directors believe that the diversity in the group in terms of trading channels, product types, and geographic presence helps to mitigate these risks. The Directors have assessed, and stress tested the group’s financial position, budgets and cash flow forecasts for the period up to 31 March 2028.
Wourth Group Limited provides a treasury function for the trading companies within the group. Overall, the group continues to trade profitably and generate positive cash flows. The Group has net current assets of £60.0m (2025: £38.8m). The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Group which show that even when factoring in a possible downturn in consumer spending and the seasonality around product purchasing and sales, sufficient cash resources are available to finance its own trading for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
All forecasts have also factored in the seasonality around revenue and stock purchases. These forecasts also consider the post balance sheet acquisition of the Hessnatur Group. Cash levels are expected to be at their lowest in August and September each year when the group are purchasing seasonal stock which is then converted to cash in a strong October to December period. This is particularly pertinent in Peter Hahn GmbH & WoolOvers Limited. Even when flexed for underperformance on revenue targets, the cash forecasts remain in a positive position, in part due to the availability of a £12.5m revolving credit facility that is due to expire in April 2029."
Accordingly, given the directors know of no reason why financial support will not be forthcoming in relation to the group treasury function, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Company's financial statements.

1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable, net of value added tax and trade discounts, in respect of the sale of goods to customers.
Sale of goods
For sale of goods to retail customers, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being at the point the customer purchases the goods at the retail store. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately at the point the customer purchases the goods.
For internet and mail order sales, revenue is recognised when the goods are despatched to customers, being at the point the goods are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to the customer's specific location. When the customer initially purchases the goods, the transaction price receivable is recognised as a payment in advance in other creditors until the goods have been delivered to the customer.
Any credits issued for future purchases must be used within a finite period. The company recognises a liability for all unused credits and makes an estimate for expected breakage, being any amounts that may be unclaimed at the year end. Any breakage amount is recognised as revenue based on the historic aged usage rates that apply to credits issued to customers.
Under the company's standard contract terms, customers have a right to return within 28 days. At the reporting date, a refund liability and a corresponding adjustment to revenue is recognised for those products expected to be returned. At the same time, the company has a right to recover the product when customers exercise their right of return so consequently recognises a right to returned goods and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales. The net value of the returns provision is recognised in other creditors based on the estimated returns after the reporting date of sales that occurred in the period. The company uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of returns to be provided for.
Revenue from the sale of gift cards is deferred and recognised only when the gift card is redeemed by the customer and the related goods are delivered to the customer. Until redemption, the value of outstanding gift cards is recorded as deferred income. Where it becomes virtually certain that a gift card will not be redeemed, breakage income is recognised in the profit and loss account.
1.4
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Software
2 years straight-line basis
1.5
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings
3 years straight-line basis
Office equipment
3-4 years straight-line basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.6
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.7
Stock
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the stocks, conversion costs and other costs in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The freight and delivery cost of bringing stock in to its existing location is estimated based on historic costs incurred and allocated across the stock lines on an apportioned basis.
1.8
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
1.9
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost. The company has no other financial instruments or basic financial instruments measured at fair value.

1.10
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
1.11
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.12
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.13
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.14
Leases
As lessee
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

1.15
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Net realisable value of stock
The company makes an estimate of the net realisable values of stock which is based on assessments of future sales projections and prevailing market conditions. These are re-assessed annually and amended where necessary to reflect current estimates. Changes to these estimates could result in changes to the profit and loss for the period and to the carrying value of the stock. See note 7 for the carrying value of stock and changes to any provision made in the period.
Provision for sales returns and credit note breakages
The company makes an estimate of the post year end sales returns which is based on assessments of the expected level of returns within the 28 day returns policy. The company uses its accumulated historical experience of actual return levels to estimate the number of returns to be provided for. These are re-assessed annually and amended where necessary to reflect current estimates. Changes to these estimates could result in changes to the profit and loss for the period and to the value of the accrual.
An estimate is made for credit note breakages based on the historical trends of credit notes being claimed. This estimate is derived using aged data of the claims of credit notes during their finite lifetime. The estimate is updated at least annually to take account of any changes in trends.
Depreciation of tangible assets and amortisation of intangible assets
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost in equal annual instalments over their estimated useful lives.
Provision for doubtful debts
The recoverability of trade debtors and intercompany debtors is regularly reviewed in the light of available economic information specific to each receivable and provisions are recognised for balances considered to be irrecoverable.
