Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Barnes Roffe Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, formed a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The financial performance has been impacted by the write off of an intercompany balance that was deemed irrecoverable. If this had not happened, the operating loss would have been comparable with the previous year, which the Directors are satisfied with, given the fall in turnover.”
- “Restructuring costs relate to redundancy and pay in lieu of notice of employees following a company restructuring programme.”
- “Intercompany balance relates to the balance due from Collins and Hayes Furniture Limited which is no longer deemed recoverable.”
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
Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
