- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “The Company has had another good year with turnover of £14.2m. This is a decrease of £1.4m compared with turnover of £15.6m in the previous financial year. Within the sales figure, we have seen a significant decrease in the sale of new statics, the market for new statics has fallen due to a drop in demand.”
- “Profit for the year after tax is just over £443,212 compared to £805,624 last year, which is still a very good result for the Company.”
- “Net assets have increased by £243k and stand at £15.6m as at the year end. There are no bank loans meaning that with the exception of a relatively small value of obligations under finance lease and hire purchase contracts, the Company is essentially debt free.”

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
