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. 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. The directors have prepared financial forecasts which, having regard for the current economic environment and taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, financial forecasts prepared and post year end trading performance indicate that the company will maintain sufficient financial headroom to enable it to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business for at least the next twelve months following approval of these financial statements. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Sales increased to £29,018,381 for the year ended 30 April 2025. This growth was driven by increased demand in the company's core market sectors, alongside changes in building regulations requiring greater insulation thickness.”
• “The company continues to demonstrate its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint through further investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the installation of low-wattage LED lighting throughout the plant, enhanced recycling practices, and reductions in plastic packaging.”
• “The company has also introduced four additional energy-efficient electric trucks into its existing forklift fleet.”
• “Expansion plans are under active consideration, including the purchase of new machinery to enhance production capacity and maintain technological leadership.”
• “S and B EPS Ltd remain committed to supporting its employees through the ongoing cost-of-living challenges, providing further wage and bonus increases during the year.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
