Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance arising from economic uncertainty created by the cost-of-living crisis, inflation and increasing interest rates. These show that the company will be able to continue to operate within its available resources and are well placed to manage their business risks. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During the year the company incurred non-recurring costs which were considered material, and therefore warrant separate disclosure on the face of the consolidated profit and loss account. The nature of these non-recurring costs is explained below. During the year ended 31st August 2024, in response to challenging market conditions, the company took the decision to temporarily reduce production capacity.”

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
