“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
- “Consideration and acknowledgement must be given to the recovery of the business following a criminal cyber-attack on our infrastructure during the second trading quarter of the year, impacting all functions and subsidiaries within the P&R group.”
- “During the year, Patterson and Rothwell Limited acquired ownership of Ultimate Roofing and Building Products Limited and the onboarding of this company into standard P&R trading, both procedurally and operationally, during this time added disturbances to our normal business practices, however through diligent management and careful planning a successful integration has been achieved.”
