Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The market was weaker in 2024 and the turnover of the company decreased by 12.2% from the previous year.”
• “Raw material prices remained stable in the year but shipping costs remained at historical highs.”
• “High inflation in the UK resulted in significant increases in labor costs which were offset in part by a weakening of energy prices and the implementation of efficiency saving measures within the manufacturing process.”
• “No accidents or incidents requiring medical attention were recorded in the previous two years.”

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
