“Having considered the matters set out above, the Directors have identified that the current economic conditions present uncertainties however, having made appropriate enquiries of the funding providers and considered the operational projections for the forthcoming 12 months the Directors have a reasonable expectation that sufficient funds will be available to allow the company to continue to trade and invest in the normal manner, thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Competitive pressure is a continuing risk for the company which could result in loss of business to key competitors.”
- “A high proportion of the company's business is placed with one customer. The company manages this risk by maintaining a strong relationship with its main customer. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce this by actively pursuing business with other customers and can confirm nomination by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) for future business commencing in 2026.”
- “A proportion of the company's income and expenditure is denominated in Euros and Japanese Yen, which is therefore an exposure risk with the movements in these currencies relative to Pound Sterling. The company manages this risk by matching currency inflows and outflows where possible while closely monitoring the exchange rate movements.”
- “A significant proportion of the company's expenditure is linked to the fluctuations in commodity prices and in particular the price of steel.”
- “Utilities cost increased significantly since April 2022. The market remains volatile with reductions projected, but still significantly higher than three years ago.”
- “Inflation peaked in 2022 but continues to be a concern. This affects the labour costs within the business and the ability to attract the skills required.”
- “The company has been successfully nominated for the next generation EV from Nissan which will start production in October 2026 and with JLR for vehicles that start production mid-2026.”
- “There have been no significant adjusting events since the balance sheet date which would impact the financial statements.”
