WHITEHOUSE MACHINE TOOLS LIMITED
Company number 02117070 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Whitehouse Machine Tools Limited presents a mixed credit profile. The company benefits from a strong cash position (£2.03M), long trading history (incorporated 1987), and positive net current assets. However, significant concerns around balance sheet volatility, material related-party lending (£501K in directors' loans), high accruals/deferred income of uncertain nature (£1.557M), and an aggressive historical dividend policy temper confidence. A conditional approval is recommended with covenants requiring maintenance of minimum cash levels, restrictions on dividend distributions, and clarification of the accruals composition before commitment.
