- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the company's current and future prospects and its availability of cash resources and financing and are satisfied that the company can continue to pay its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. For this reason the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company had a disappointing financial year with volumes and turnover down in most departments, with only the timber frame department seeing increased turnover and profitability. The furniture components departments had a particularly difficult year with weak consumer confidence significantly reducing demand levels on the previous year. The engineered timber department also saw reduced demand across the roof truss section in the face of a poor economic outlook which contributed to the result for this department being lower than the previous financial year. The pallets department showed a reduction in profitability due to economic pressures faced by key customers.”
- “Political events around the world will influence the supply and cost of raw materials going forward.”
- “The UK has now left the European Union and as a result of the new importing procedures the documentation required has greatly increased.”
