Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company has a net worth of £230,311. The Company participates in the Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so is able to call upon the treasury facilities. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds, generated either by its own trading performance or, if and when required, funding from its ultimate parent company, Goodwin PLC to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. These forecasts are dependent on Goodwin PLC not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the Group, which at 30 April 2025, amounted to £89,535 and providing additional financial support during that period, as and when required by the Company. The Directors of Goodwin PLC have indicated their intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company, and that they do not intend to seek repayment of the amount due at the balance sheet date, for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The pre-tax profit was £151,657, which equates to a 33% operating profit for the Company (2024: pre-tax loss of £44,044). This year's improved performance has been due to the increase of material testing required for programmes of national importance from its core customer, Goodwin Steel Castings Limited. With several long-awaited customer approvals now secured, the Company's performance has progressed without interruption during the year and is expected to continue, supported by multi-year contracts, that relate to multi-decade programmes.”
