Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The company's profitability is heavily dependant on the underlying price and demand for metals. With continued investment in the plant and tight controls on costs and margins, the company has managed to achieve growth in operating profit despite the difficult trading conditions, with a reduction in turnover. With continued investment in plant and machinery at depots, the director is confident they can capitalise once the market recovers.”
• “The company continues to trade by identifying new suppliers and customers to ensure an adequate supply chain network.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
