Executive summary

Reader Electrical Engineering Ltd is a long-established electrical contractor showing concerning financial deterioration, with net assets declining 18.9% from their 2023 peak and a likely loss in the latest year. While the cash position has improved significantly to £19,243 and non-current liabilities have been cleared, the marginal current ratio of 1.18, reduced workforce (5 to 3 employees), and 60% drop in debtors suggest a contracting business. Any credit facility should be conditional on personal guarantees from the controlling shareholder, limited in size relative to the thin equity base, and subject to quarterly monitoring of trading performance.
