- Reporting scope

- Auditor
- DJH Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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
- “Jost (Great Britain) Ltd will also carry out an integration merger with ALO UK closing the offices in Birmingham and all staff will now be employed by Jost GB. They will be integrated into Jost GB and be know as Jost AG (Agricultural side of the business).”
- “Jost (Great Britain) Ltd carried out a very successful move of premises in 2024. There was only a small delay in shipments at this time so the business was not affected too badly.”

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
