- 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 profit and loss account on page 7 shows the loss before tax of £332,863 in comparison to a profit of £444,007 last year.”
- “As for many businesses in our industry, the business environment in which we operate continues to be challenging, in particular competitiveness and price sensitivity.”
- “There are external events that occur within the industry, which are outside of our control, however we closely monitor the market and economic conditions to mitigate risks to the business.”
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
