Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Auditor
- Peter Hodgson & Co. 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
- “The Penzance Service has shown very positive improvements in KPIs over the last 12 months, with higher passenger numbers, higher load factors and lower sub-charter costs. The ticket prices have been reviewed and increased to better reflect the costs of service, and Starspeed is making investments in its own MRO capability (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) that will further reduce the overall costs of the operation.”
