Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The director is aware of the impact that the current high levels of input costs, and whilst the issues are concerning, they are not just affecting the industry the company operates in and appear almost worldwide. Despite this backdrop the director believes the company has more than sufficient financial strength to mange its way through a sustained period of economic gloom, and management continue to monitor events and take action as required. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The company has acquired assets under hire purchase agreements in respect of which interest is charged at fixed rates. Obligations under these loans and hire purchase agreements are met out of working capital.”
• “The company maintains good relations with all raw material suppliers and deals with most polypropylene suppliers in order to attempt to mitigate risk.”
• “The company is exposed to the usual credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow associated with selling on credit and manages this through credit control procedures.”
• “The company is subject to the volatile nature of the supply and price of its major raw material being polypropylene.”
• “The auditor, MHA, previously traded through the legal entity MacIntyre Hudson LLP. In response to regulatory changes, Macintyre Hudson LLP ceased to hold an audit registration with the engagement transitioning to MHA Audit Services LLP.”

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
