“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.”
Significant events
- “The development of new products remains a key part of the company's strategy to create new opportunities to further grow the company into the future.”
- “The company continues to invest in new plant and machinery to maintain its ability to produce high quality products as efficiently as possible.”
- “The company are committed to limit their environmental impact and continue to invest in more sustainable methods where possible to achieve this.”

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
