- Audit opinion
- 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
- “A continued decline in air fryer sales meant that sales declined by 12.4%, and resulting overstocks were sold through at a lower gross margin which meant a decline from 20.3% to 17.8% GM”
- “A limited number of defective air fryers meant that a product recall was undertaken which cost £2.6 million in the financial year in exceptional costs.”
- “Due to the movement in the GBP/USD rate our forward booked contracts were below spot rate and meant a £1.7 million fair valuation interest charge.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
