- 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 changes and uncertainty in economic and political environments worldwide continues to be a risk to the company, in particular pending tariffs from the USA.”
- “Pricing is a risk for the company. Prices of core components had begun to stabilise but any additional tariffs from the USA will have an impact on the price of these, freight costs also still continue to fluctuate, together these factors will create uncertainty in future costs.”
- “Currency rate fluctuations continue to be significant risk to the company. To assist with mitigating this risk the company matches the currency it charges its international customers with that of its major suppliers along with regularly monitoring exchange rates.”
- “the company is exposed to the risk of bad debts as it offers credit to some customers, it mitigates this risk by closely monitoring credit control and using tools available such as credit check reference agencies.”
