- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “During the year the company has seen turnover remain broadly in line with the previous year, whilst experiencing an increase in profitability.”
- “At the time of writing, there is a major conflict in the Middle East, along with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These pose many uncertainties and potential risks to the business in terms of the cost of raw material and the effect this has on customer demand.”
- “The company is hopeful that new projects in the pipeline at the end of the year will turn into sales in the coming years which will result in growth.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
