- 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
- “Sales were down 3.4% versus prior year at £17.7m. The improvement in the mix of product sold (more locally produced sales) resulted in a reduction in cost of sales versus prior year. In addition, continuous improvement initiatives contributed to a positive Gross Profit of £1.4m. An increase in the cost of borrowing resulted in an additional £0.6m interest costs. Profits were £0.1m being a increase of £1.3m versus prior year.”
