- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“With the Company's strong free cash generation, large cash reserves with no borrowings, and large stock balance, the directors conclude, that whilst demand and hence profitability could be impacted in the future, there is no material going concern risk to the business.”
Significant events
- “Ocean transit times (and costs) have increased recently due to the tensions observed within the Middle East.”
- “The directors see only limited risk from the changes to trade brought about by Brexit, although cross border regulations remain fluid and subject to change.”
- “The Trump administration has made noises about increasing tariffs especially with goods originating from China, however given the minimal revenue the Company has with the USA, these would have minimal impact.”
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
