Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the financial strength of the Company, when taking account of the level of stock held, controlled level of debt owed to the Company and the lack of any bank or asset based borrowings, continues to allow the Company to meet its customers' requirements for the foreseeable future. After reviewing the Company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

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
