- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- 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
- “During the financial year the business invested in a dust extraction system and the electrification of the fork lift truck fleet and concluded projects from previous periods. This resulted in capital expenditure of £657k.”
- “The company's net assets have decreased by £96k to £3.60m from £3.70m, owing to the losses made in the year.”
- “Stock increased from £3.69m to £4.33m. This was driven by holding higher raw material stocks at the year-end due to the phasing of deliveries from overseas suppliers.”
- “Creditors increased from £5.87m to £6.56m. This was primarily due to an increase in the amount owed under the businesses receivables finance facility.”
- “The cash balance at the period end increased by £101k, from £154k to £255k.”
- “Whilst the year was more stable that some of the previous years, the business has still felt the effects of the crisis in the middle east and the subsequent fall out. As a result of the above, goods have frequently spent longer periods at sea than historically may have been the case.”

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
