GOODRIDGE EVANS LIMITED

1. Credit Opinion: DECLINE The credit recommendation is an unequivocal DECLINE. The company is currently in Liquidation, meaning it is undergoing a formal insolvency process and has ceased trading as a going concern. Extending any credit facility or commercial agreement to an entity in liquidation carries a near-certain risk of default. Furthermore, the company has failed to file annual accounts since 2015 and its confirmation statements since 2016, indicating a complete breakdown in statutory compliance and financial stewardship.

2. Financial Strength Financial strength is entirely non-existent. The company’s last known share capital stands at a nominal £1.00, and there is no recent financial data available to assess balance sheet health, asset values, or solvency. The fact that accounts have been overdue for nearly a decade strongly suggests that the business has no meaningful assets or operational infrastructure left to assess. The previous name change from Honeybun Construction Interiors Limited in early 2015, right before the filing failures began, is also a common red flag in the construction sector for businesses facing severe financial distress.

3. Cash Flow Assessment Cash flow assessment is not applicable. A company in liquidation does not generate operational cash flow, nor does it possess the liquidity to service new debt obligations. Working capital is definitively impaired, and any outstanding debts owed by this company will be dealt with by the liquidator according to statutory insolvency priorities, meaning unsecured creditors are highly unlikely to receive repayment.

4. Monitoring Points While there is no viable business to monitor for credit purposes, the following should be noted for broader risk management: * Director Activity: The three current directors (Martin Evans, Shaun Richard Goodridge, David Mostyn Bevan) and the secretary (Nicola Jane Smith) should be flagged. Any future credit applications involving these individuals—especially in the construction sector (SIC 43390)—should undergo enhanced due diligence to rule out "phoenixing" or the transfer of assets at undervalue prior to liquidation. * Case Status: Monitor the Companies House register for the final dissolution of the company, which will formally conclude the liquidation process.
