- 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 directors are pleased to report a strong year of financial performance, with work effort increasing by £2.4m to £8.8m.”
- “Contract performance improved during the year under review, with the company gross profit margin percentage increasing by 4.3% to 24.2%.”
- “managed to grow revenue by 35.6% whilst increasing overheads by only 3.9%. Cost control at an overhead level, coupled with improved gross profit performance, has helped the company improve its EBITDA position by £0.8m and profit before tax by £0.8m.”
- “the net assets of the company increased by £0.6m to £0.7m, importantly with the profit and loss reserves moving from negative £0.2 to positive £0.4m.”
