- 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 Group's or the parent 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.”
Group structure
- UNIGEL (UK) LIMITED · parent
- Unigel Inc. 100%
Significant events
- “The group turnover decreased during the year which was due to a combination of a lower volume of sales in a challenging global market, lower average oil prices and logistics costs.”
- “The company continued to enjoy success entering new markets during the year and expanding its product range.”
- “By continuing to venture into new geographical markets the group hopes to minimise the risk arising from economic fluctuations in particular regions.”
- “The main risks continue to be associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the US Dollar, the fluctuation in the price of oil and logistics costs, rising interest rates, inflationary pressure, disruption from global conflicts and liquidity ratios.”

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
