- 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
- “2025 proved to be an improved year for Swisspearl GB Ltd compared to 2024 with the Turnover increasing year on year. Slate sales were the driving force in 2025 as customers returned that we had serviced in prior years, this was coupled with continued sales in Corrugated materials during 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
