Audit & accounting basis

- 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.”
Significant events
- “We have actively been installing Solar on suitable sites to reduce our dependency on the utility suppliers and costs. Along with the solar investment the group has started purchasing electric vans when suitable deals are available.”
- “The current financial year has been hit in April with massive increases in the living wage and employers NI increases, which will affect the bottom line in the current year. To offset some of these costs, the directors have been working hard to increase margins, through better buying, increase cost management and controls.”
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
