- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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.”
Significant events
- “Revenue decreased by £1.7m (10%) from £16.2m to £14.5m, mainly due to reduced outdoor furniture sales. GP margin grew from 40.1% to 44%, resulting in a £23k increase in Gross profit. Overheads reduced by £1m, improving overall profitability despite sales decrease.”
- “Post year end, the company disposed of the two smaller centres within the group, being Whitchurch Bristol and Woodborough Pewsey, in order to focus on the original Garden Centre at Lacock and allow the family to move towards the next generation. This has also allowed the debt to be reduced.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
