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

• “Revenue is up 10% compared to last year at £23,697,509 (2024 £21,480,889).”
• “Gross profit margin for the year has increased from 20% in 2024 to 24%.”
• “Return on capital employed increased from 7% to 10%, liquidity ratios have increased from 2.4 in 2024 to 3.1”
• “this year the company invested a further £5.5 million (2024 £2.4m) in new equipment.”
• “The company is exposed to the risk of a downturn in the UK economy, and this has been factored into the projections used to evaluate the going concern of the company.”

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
