Going concern

Affirmed

“After due consideration of all relevant factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

Significant events

• “Despite difficult trading conditions, gross profit margin has remained largely consistent and encouragingly, turnover has increased when compared with previous years.”
• “The increase in net profit is encouraging despite increased levels of overhead cost, particularly in areas such as insurance, energy, interest and labour costs driven by inflationary wage pressure and staff shortages that continue to hamper most industries.”
• “The inflated stock levels in the industry which followed the pandemic years continues to be an issue and the directors are pleased with the results of efforts to reduce stockholding, without adversely impacting on margin.”
• “Customers continue to be cautious when placing orders and stock availability within the industry has led to a return to more normal ordering patters of 'little and often'.”

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
