- 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
- “Outlook for 2026: 2026 will be a challenging year for the company, as it is expected that the North America market will to be tough due the continued uncertainty over tariffs. Less demand in the market may put pressure on profit margins, following increased costs.”
- “HSBC Bank Ltd hold fixed and floating charges over all assets.”
