- 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 lo events or condilions 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
- “The business started an expansion programme during the financial year with this designed to increase production for the supply chain. The project is due to run until the end of 2027. The project involves considerable investment with this being made ahead of the expected increase in income.”
