Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared detailed profit and cash flow forecasts for the period to September 2025 and considered reasonably possible alternative scenarios. These show that based on the forecasts and use of its currently agreed available facilities, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Based on the above, the Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 17th April 2025 the Company sold the land and buildings at the Uxbridge address for proceeds of £3 million.”
- “In 2024, Kimal donated over £13k to St. Richard's Hospice, highlighting its commitment to community support. In 2025, Kimal has made the decision to support two charities - Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, and Tommy's.”

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
