Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has net assets at 31 March 2025 of £4,522,690 (2024: net assets £4,128,004) including cash at bank and in hand of £566,321 (2024: £1,228,603). Turnover increased by 32.7% compared to prior year and the Company had a profit after tax of £1,394,686, up from £977,478 in the prior year. On the basis of the aforementioned forecast and sensitivity testing, the Board has determined that it is reasonable to assume that the Company will continue to operate within the facilities available and will be able to adhere to the covenant tests to which it is subject throughout at least the next twelve-month period from the date of signing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The imposition of tariffs in the USA will increase costs on goods purchased from the USA in particular cables, where the cables' source material is from Europe and currently will be subject to tariffs entering the USA of 50%. The company also sells products to the USA and will now be subject to a 10% tariff. The potential overall impact to the Company is estimated to be £45k.”
• “Technology and cyber security: Inadequate operation and maintenance of resilient IT systems and infrastructure, coupled with insufficient security measures, may result in a loss of operational capabilities and increased vulnerability to unauthorised access to our systems or data. Such incidents could compromise our operations, resulting in significant financial loss and reputational damage. The Group has in place a roadmap to enhance our infrastructure and systems to improve resilience.”
• “Rates of exchange on foreign currencies can affect revenues and the cost of bought in components and materials. The Company hedges the foreign currency exposure by having both sales and purchases in foreign currencies.”
• “Climate change: Failure to consider and effectively respond to climate change may have an adverse impact on our operational and financial performance and our reputation. The Carclo Group, manages this risk centrally with appropriate delegation of authority to mitigate risks posed.”
• “At 31 March 2025, the Company was a guarantor to the Group banking facilities with HSBC. The term facility at 31 March 2025 was £21.4m and the revolving credit facility £nil. There is a floating charge over the Company's assets in respect of the above guarantees. As explained in note 18, this facility has been repaid subsequent to year end and replaced with a new facility arrangement.”
• “On 24 April 2025, the Group completed the refinancing of its primary external borrowing facility with the announcement of a three-year multi-currency borrowing facility agreement with BZ Commercial Finance DAC ("BZ") comprising a term loan of £27.0 million and a revolving credit facility of up to £9.0 million. At commencement, £29.9 million was borrowed under the BZ facility, of which £26.8 million was drawn under the term loan and £3.1 million was drawn under the revolving credit facility. £21.2 million was paid to discharge all amounts owing under the previous borrowing arrangement with HSBC at that date including accrued interest and £5.1 million additional contributions were paid to the Group's defined benefit pension scheme allowing securitised assets marked in favour of the Group pension scheme to be reassigned to the new lender.”

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.
