- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Considering all the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial and other resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover in 2024 decreased due to an adverse change in the USD exchange rate. Net assets increased due to an increase in the intercompany receivable loan balance. Directors recommend a dividend of £100,000,000 for 2024, to be paid on 27 June 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
