The company, which is listed on the fringe Ofex stock market, admitted that the birth of their finance chief's baby daughter was party responsible for a delay in its annual results.
The happy event, which will be greeted with joy by the trendy young customers of K-Bar's hip venues - including the famous K-Bar in Soho and the nearby Kabaret Club - meantfinance director Sarah Goodfellow has been on maternity leave.
Ms Goodfellow's leave added to some minor technical problems in the compilation of the accounts and led to a slight delay.
The managing director, Mark Kirkland, said that the final figures, due out yesterday, will be published next week. "[The maternity leave] hasn't helped because we are a small company, but there is nothing sinister and the auditors Saffery Champness are completing their work".
