- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company meets its day to day working capital through the support of the immediate and ultimate parent company. The immediate and ultimate parent company have confirmed that they are willing to continue to support the company. As a result of the above, in the opinion of the directors, there is reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The reduced turnover was mainly due to the two foundry sites being consolidated onto one site during the first half of the year. The movement of plant meant a reduced capacity for a period of time plus the inevitable teething issues of getting the plant settled into their new locations and producing at normal rates.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
