Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Actions taken have resulted in E. P. Barrus Limited gaining market share in most areas, with sales not reducing as much as the total market fall. Strict cost control and improved stock management have contributed to the profit achievement for the year.”
• “During the year we have replaced the roof on our main warehouse and office block, which when combined with our recently upgraded heating system has led to a significant reduction in the gas used to heat the building. We are also seeing the benefits of moving all of our our buildings to LED lighting.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
