Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's forecasts and projections... show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have received confirmation that if cash reserves become depleted the immediate parent undertaking, Komori International (Europe) B.V. (KIE), will provide financial support to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least one year after the approval date of these financial statements. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The International Printing Exhibition - DRUPA, held for the first time since 2016 in May/June 2024 was well attended and the company was successful in securing a number of orders from both the packaging and commercial printing sectors of the market.”
- “Following the Corporation's acquisition of the MBO and H+H Post-press equipment business in 2021, the company has successfully established a strong and growing share of the market for this type of equipment.”
- “The reduction in turnover is attributable to press sales to the value of £3,645,000 being delayed beyond the year-end due to a specific supply chain problem. This issue has now been addressed and change implemented to prevent future occurrence.”
- “After the balance sheet date, the company entered into a new operating lease on a new property that will become its new registered office. This is a 10-year lease with an initial rent of £101k per annum, expiring in May 2035.”

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
