RICHARD AUSTIN ALLOYS LIMITED
Company number SC074125 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Richard Austin Alloys Limited presents an unacceptable credit profile characterised by a 70% revenue collapse, 96% cash depletion, and an equity buffer of only 3.2% against total liabilities. The company's position as a subsidiary of Richard Austin Alloys Holdings Limited introduces significant related-party risk, and the near-total elimination of cash reserves suggests either severe operational distress or potential upstream cash extraction. The financial trajectory is decisively negative with no visible stabilising factors, and any new credit extension would carry disproportionate risk of loss given the minimal equity protection available.
