Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its banking facilities, and this is monitored daily. The group's facilities with its bank were renegotiated in 2022 and are in place until December 2026. After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, which cover the 12-month period from the date of signing the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue trading for the foreseeable future. These forecasts and projections have considered a downside scenario in revenue levels; however, management have also identified mitigating actions that could be taken to ensure that the company has sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months should this downside scenario materialise. The directors have also considered the recent volatility within global markets brought about by changes to trade tariff policy in the USA. The company has limited exposure to the US market and given the early stage to such policy changes, coupled with the high likelihood of further changes to policy, the longer-term impact is difficult to assess. Regardless, the company has sufficient certainty within the current order backlog, available liquidity and associated risk mitigation processes in place to ensure the business is well placed to withstand such volatility over the next 12-months. The directors have therefore concluded that the company has sufficient forecast cash flows to continue to trade as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months after the signing date. The company has therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
