Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Trading conditions for the next year are likely to remain uncertain, with potential future logistics issues if the war continues in the Middle East, and also the potential fallout from the imposing of tariffs, which while would not directly affect our markets, it could leac to price uncertainty in the market as a whole. However Firn is well placed to cope with the challenges, with well established and regular supply, and also a loyal customer base. Accordingly, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future on the basis of forecasts created. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
