Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Mr James O'Rourke for and on behalf of Blue Spire Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Revenues up 2.5% at £34.02M despite a reduction in domestic demand due to higher rates of inflation.”
- “Results significantly impacted by weather during H2 with one of the warmest winters on record with rainfall well above average, influencing aggregates and RMC divisions (23% reduction in revenues for aggregates in final quarter over 2023).”
- “Gross profit margins have fallen; competition in the market for RMC has been intense with margins being eroded, and poor weather hampered waste recovery process.”
- “Business saw increases throughout its cost base, with net profit levels similarly returning to 2020 levels.”
- “Reduction in fuel prices, though inflation rates remained high particularly during H1, falling away towards year end. Fuel prices stabilised, but inflation remained high, creating downward pressure on domestic demand for skips with a 19% fall on previous year.”
