- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 UK has now left the European Union and as a result of the new importing procedures the documentation required has greatly increased. The company is continuing to source as many products as possible within the UK to reduce any potential supply issues and to minimise any impact on production.”
- “The directors expect to report reduced profits in the new financial year. Continued economic uncertainty in the UK along with increases in costs due to high inflation and political factors around the world, mean the company is likely to see reduced margins and contribution levels during the new financial year.”
- “The company has given the bank an unlimited guarantee in connection with Thomas Armstrong (Holdings) Limited group bank borrowings.”
