ACL (2002) LIMITED
Company number 04578644 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
ACL (2002) Limited presents an unacceptable credit risk due to catastrophic revenue decline (75% year-on-year), negative gross margins, and a cash position of only £17,890—a 99% decline from four years prior. The loss of its dominant customer (representing ~95% of turnover) has rendered the business unable to cover direct production costs, and no credible turnaround strategy has been demonstrated. The going concern assertion appears inconsistent with the financial trajectory, and the auditor's shared address with the company raises independence concerns. New credit facilities should be declined.
