Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis, the Directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts and working capital requirements of the Company for the 12 month period from date of board approval of these financial statements. On the basis of their assessments the Company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of this statement. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The inflationary costs seen in the United Kingdom since 2022 have impacted the company, particularly in areas such as utilities and raw materials however the company continues to monitor its cost base and will take necessary action within its supply chain to ensure continued operations. Additionally, the tightening in the labour market continues to make the speed and quality of resource acquisition a challenge..”

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
