COUNTERPLAS LIMITED
Company number 02560907 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Counterplas Limited presents a mixed risk profile: a well-established, profitable manufacturing business with strong cash generation, but one experiencing significant working capital strain evidenced by an 83% decline in net current assets and a current ratio of only 1.03. The 63% surge in debtors against 11.5% revenue growth is the most material concern, potentially signalling collection difficulties or aggressive revenue recognition. The decision to distribute £800,000 in dividends—exceeding annual profit—while liquidity is under pressure raises questions about capital allocation discipline. Further investigation into debtor quality, creditor composition, and banking facilities is essential before any investment commitment.
