- 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 group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern”

Significant events
- “After three years of volatility in material prices, utility and distribution costs and customer demand, trading conditions were challenging in some areas of the business while others continued to perform well.”
- “The focus during the year was to improve gross profit through careful monitoring of costs and taking advantage of production efficiencies that the capital expenditure of the last three years has made possible.”
- “The first half of the current year saw sales 10% higher than the previous year, with the confirmed order book at a high level and we expect to meet our sales and profit expectations for the year.”

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
