Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- 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
- “reduction in sales volume is mainly due to the transfer of production of the IM model range for the Korean market, to the Hoshizaki Suzhou factory in China”
- “Administration costs increased as a percentage of sales... due to receiving warranty claims from the Australian market which were previously not submitted.”
- “Company has awarded a pay rate increase on 1st April 2025 of a minimum of 2.5% to all employees. The Company also paid out additional bonuses to all staff members for over-achieving the budgeted operating profit target for the year 2025.”
- “Company is currently developing its IM Generation 2 machine range for sale into the American market. Sales of two models are planned to commence in January 2027, with a further two models expected to be launched in January 2028.”
- “Company is also developing hydrocarbon versions of its larger FM models, which are currently available only in non-hydrocarbon form. These new models are planned for launch in the fourth quarter of 2026.”

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
