- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “During the year the company acquired the business of Integrity Services Ltd., a small Office Products distributor in the Midlands.”
- “The company won the Office Product industry's most-prized award in European Wholesaler Of The Year, and was runner-up in the UK equivalent BOSS Wholesaler Of The Year.”
- “EcoScore was also shortlisted for Computer Reseller News' 'Innovation In Tech' award.”

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
