Going concern

Affirmed

“At year end the company has £9.1m of cash, net assets of £47.7m. The Ultimate holding company Group accounts, Friedhelm Loh Stiftung & Co. KG, for the year ended 31 December 2023, were prepared on a going concern basis, with no material uncertainties identified. As a result, the Director has not identified any material uncertainties relating to going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “2024 saw another significant increase in revenue due to continued strong growth in production of IT enclosures for our OEM customers because of the ongoing strong demand for data enclosures largely due to activity associated with AI (Artificial Intelligence).”
• “A variable speed air compressor was installed at the nitrogen generation plant, reducing the total kilowatt (kWh) usage by adjusting the motor speed to match the required output, leading to improved energy efficiency.”
• “Following a site survey, older motors were replaced with high-efficiency IE4 motors. These motors, which have been ordered, are expected to reduce energy consumption through enhanced performance and lower electrical losses.”
• “Two 90kWh fixed-speed air compressors were replaced with a single 132kWh variable speed air compressor. This upgrade optimises energy usage by adjusting compressor speed to meet air demand.”
• “An ongoing initiative to replace traditional light bulbs with energy-efficient LED versions is being implemented across the site. This reduces power consumption, lowers maintenance costs, and improves lighting quality with longer-lasting bulbs.”

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. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
