Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- BK Plus Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “Loss of £123,614 after tax was recorded for 2025 (profit of £40,872 for 2024)”
- “Our 'Enclosure Market Sales increased this year up 0.8% on 2024 Sales, and should improve further in 2026, with increases in sales expected and a settled team now in place.”
- “For the ROK division, sales were down slightly this year (-1.5% on 2024) but are expected to increase again in 2026.”
- “The marketplace in the UK has been very slow this year but is expected to improve in 2026.”
- “2026 will see Phoenix Mecano Limited benefit from this and strive to improve its market share in a more stable marketplace and an Increased Investment in Sales Staff. Margin improvements are the target.”
- “Phoenix Mecano is at risk from large variances in the Euro to Sterling exchange rate, since the majority of purchases are made in Euros.”

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
