CALANDINE LIFTS LIMITED
Company number 05541807 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Calandine Lifts Limited presents a mixed credit profile. The company has built respectable net assets of £184,312 over its 19-year trading history and maintains healthy liquidity with a current ratio of 1.70x and £109,829 in cash. However, the latest year reveals a loss of £6,980, dividends paid despite that loss, declining total assets, and a significant contraction in debtors that likely signals reduced revenue. The decision to extract £6,200 in dividends during a loss-making period raises questions about financial stewardship and capital preservation priorities. A CONDITIONAL recommendation reflects the reasonable balance sheet foundation but flags the need for covenant protection and close monitoring of profitability and dividend discipline going forward.
