Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Prydis Accounts Ltd
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

“overall bookings some 9.7% down against the previous year, partially off-set by higher sales in peripheral activities, leaving total turnover 5% down. Costs were generally kept under control but energy costs continued to rise sharply, by some 19.8%. Repairs & renewals were also significantly up, reflecting the strategic objective of maintaining assets to high standards; and advertising spend was also increased as a direct response to the bookings shortfall.”
“Specifically, the aim stated last year of paying off outstanding loans was achieved.”

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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
