Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Xeinadin Audit Limited
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
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

“Material and shipping costs fluctuated throughout the year, impacting the supply chain and overall costs. Inflation rates slowed down projects and affected the market.”
“The outlook for 2025 remains stable, with both customers and suppliers reporting a relatively subdued market. However, there is cautious optimism that conditions will improve in the second half of the year. A potential reduction in interest rates may act as a stimulus for renewed growth across the sector.”
“During the period the company repaid its loans and borrowings as they fell due, however they were required to reset their covenant terms as per the request of the lender.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
