- Affirmed
“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.”
Significant events
- “Turnover decreased by a small amount from the previous year, with the gross margin reduced accordingly.”
- “The market place has changed with much less construction work for our Company. There is also a higher general risk of customers going into liquidation.”
- “Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £46,500. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.”

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
