Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Forvis Mazars LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared financial projections which forecast profitability. These forecasts show that the Company should be able to operate within its available banking facilities. As a consequence, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be appropriate in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the first half year the business experienced a significant volume drop due to a customer re-model phase. This ramp down and ramp up period lasted from January to June 2024.”
- “The second pressure continued to be a shortage of parts impacting customer production which ultimately led to shortened shifts and increased shut down periods.”
- “Dividends of £200,000 were declared post year end.”
