- 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
- “The output from the Stonehills mine continues to increase as more headings are opened and the stone extracted is an exceptional quality. We continue to uncover excellent quality Roach bed, Whitbeds and Basebeds from the Jordans Mine under the St George's churchyard and cemetery and Bowers Mine.”
- “The commercial sector in London continues to dominate sales and the activity levels have recently increased after a slow autumn and winter. Exports look to be increasing despite the turmoil about tariffs, and we expect the export figures to be close to the pre-Brexit figures this year.”
