Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making their assessment the directors have reviewed the balance sheet, the likely future cash flows of the business and have considered the facilities that are in place at the date of signing the report. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “A focus on working capital in financial year 2023-24, particularly the inventory levels. Inventory was reduced from £8.4m at August 2023 to £6.5m at August 2024, releasing £1.9m of tied up cash.”
• “Investment in and implementation of a robust and advanced ERP system, launched in January 2025, with a focus on automation, streamlined processes, and improved efficiency.”
• “Investment in R&D and new product development has been another key focus for the directors. Two new sliding doors were introduced during the 2023-24 financial year and have been well received by the market. A new Heritage Door, eagerly anticipated by our customers, is scheduled for launch in early 2025. Additional new products are also progressing well through the development cycle.”
• “During the year the managing director changed, compensation for loss of office relates to the director who resigned during the year.”

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
