Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Lakin Rose Limited
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to trade for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and will be able to meet its debts as they fall due. Positive trading results following corroborate the going concern status of the Company.”

Significant events

“As at 27th October 2024 a revaluation of freehold property was carried out for statutory accounting purposes, which resulted in a valuation of £15,000,000. This being a reduction in value of £2,036,461 from the last valuation carried out in 2017.”

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
