- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The director refers to Note 1 of the financial statements which indicate that the Company made a profit/(loss) after tax of ($170,554); 2023 $1,476,846 and have net assets/(liabilities) of $1,226,794; 2023 $1,397,348. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continued financial support from its ultimate parent undertaking, Commercis plc and continued availability of the bank loan facilities. Considering the company's current resources and review of the financial forecasts and projections, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The impact of the war in Ukraine as well as wider global economic uncertainty continues to impact directly and indirectly the UK economy. These factors lead to increasing input costs, higher costs of living and reduced levels of consumer income.”
- “Furthermore, a potential recession could diminish business confidence leading to reduced economic activity, increased unemployment which (when combined with an increased cost of living) could lead to reduced revenue.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
