- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The turnover of the company has decreased during the year from £18,898,770 for the year ended 30 September 2024 to £17,765,149 in the current year. The decrease related to the decrease in steel prices.”
- “The gross margin for the year is 29.89% (2024: 27.62%), the increase being a result of changes in steel purchase prices.”
- “Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £1,500,000.”
- “The main area of uncertainly that could affect the future trading is the future price of steel and the availability of steel in the world market.”

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
