TORR SCIENTIFIC LIMITED
Company number 03622909 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Torr Scientific is a long-established specialist manufacturer with a consistent track record of profitability and equity growth, but it operates with dangerously thin liquidity — negative working capital of £345k and cash of just £17k against current liabilities exceeding £1m. The business appears to function on a hand-to-mouth basis that has persisted for years, which while potentially sustainable in normal trading conditions, leaves minimal buffer for disruption. Credit facilities should be conditional on enhanced reporting, appropriate security (likely over tangible assets), and covenants addressing the working capital deficit.
