- 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
- “During the period sales decreased from £53,652,924 to £51,868,281 and the profit on ordinary activities before taxation was £6,151,982 (2024: £7,588,182). Turnover has decreased year on year by 3% due to decrease in customer demand, changes in product mix.”
- “Energy consumption and Greenhouse gas emissions during the year, we consumed 805,652 kWh of electricity (a 39% decrease on previous year) and 451,175 kWh of gas (a 14% increase on previous year). ...Our Scope 1 and Scope 2 gross greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the year ended 31 March 2025 was 85.7 tonnes of CO2 (a 70% decrease on previous year).”
- “Energy saving initiatives have been progressed in 2024 with 379 self-consumption photovoltaic units (solar panels) across 979m2 of the Southport factory & office roof space giving 204 kWh. This is delivering a further electricity saving of 27%.”
