- 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
- “Subsequent to the year end on 12 February 2025, the company has restructured its development loan of £500,000 which was originally maturing on the same date and held on interest-only basis. The loan, which was obtained to assist with the construction of new factory is now restructured with a new £500,000 facility on a 5-year term based on a 20-year amortization profile with interest payable at 2.5% above the BOE rate.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
