Audit & accounting basis

- Barnes Roffe Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trading loss in the current year is predominantly attributable to increased operating expenses. The business is currently trading in an economic climate with significant cost pressures driven by inflation, National Living Wage increases and the high cost of energy. The group has significant cash reserves accessible through its invoice financing facility, and a continued focus on efficiency gains in the manufacturing process and reductions in administrative expenses will enable the business to meet these challenges. On the basis of the above the directors believe it appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on the going concern basis.”

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
