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

• “Sales volumes remained relatively stable and close to those in 2024, turnover decreased by 2.4%. This was primarily due to a reduction in steel prices. Despite the decrease in turnover, gross profit increased by 16.6%. The gross profit margin was also affected by exchange rate movements, which were favourable in both 2024 and 2025.”
• “A significant portion of our turnover is generated from distributors and stockists serving various industries within a currently mediocre business environment. This market is subject to cyclical destocking and restocking, driven by stainless steel price trends and end-user activity. Consequently, our future development plans remain vulnerable to unforeseen events beyond our control.”
• “Since Brexit, the UK stainless steel market has become increasingly susceptible to Far East imports due to the absence of prior EU anti-dumping duties. Escalating geopolitical tensions and potential trade wars have further established the UK as an attractive destination for these suppliers. In response, we have implemented strategies to strengthen domestic resources and prioritize the development of high-grade alloys over standard commodity grades, where non-European competition is less impactful.”
• “Furthermore, the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as of January 1, 2026, and the introduction of New Safeguard Import Measures in July 2026 are significantly influencing the market. These factors, alongside rising raw material costs and recent fuel price increases linked to the Middle East conflict, are supporting a recovery in metal prices, including stainless steel, following the erosion seen over the past two years.”
