- Taylor Viney & Marlow Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “The company achieved a better than expected trading result for the year due to its management of timber stock but the directors fully appreciate that, due to prevailing global financial and economic conditions, sustaining this level of performance and increasing the company's business growth will be a challenge for the management, especially in the coming years with the continued uncertainty with regards to the political issues surrounding the European Economic Community and the upward trend in inflation.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
