- 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
- “Operating in a global market and in particular with Europe, there continues to be more uncertainty following 'Brexit' the impact of Covid (lead times/labour) the wars in Ukraine (raw material costs) and Gaza. The effect currency exchange rates may have a bearing as we price in Euros to our European customers.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
