Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- Bevan Buckland LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company reviews its open order book on a monthly basis to consider the future impact on the business. The Company's forecasts show that it is expected to be profitable at an EBITDA level and cash generative from its operating activities for the foreseeable future and that the Company has the ability to remain within its committed lending facilities. Therefore, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. In determining whether the financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis, the Board considered the Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position. The Board considered in detail the future impact on the Company of a possible downturn in financial and trading performance. The Board has considered a base case and a severe but plausible downside case. In both cases, the Company has adequate headroom to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Management is not aware of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt upon the entity's abilities to continue as a going concern.”

- “During the current year, the company has reclassified customer recharge accounts from stock to payments on account (other creditors). This adjustment has been made to more accurately reflect the nature of these transactions.”

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
