- 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
- “Administrative expenses have increased significantly compared to the prior year due to duplication of certain outsourced third-party investment support services. The company has undertaken a review of the investment research and asset allocation services provided by a third party and, although services are continuing, the current contract which runs until January 2026 will not be automatically renewed. Meanwhile duplicate costs are being incurred with an alternative investment specialist to ensure long term continuity of independent investment expertise into the delivery of our investment management services.”
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
