Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Rödl & Partner Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development and position, are set out above. The company is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows and as such the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In order to make reforms to the product range, we had to go through a reset with our customers, to make way for new consumer-centric products which has been developed and will be launched in September 2025 under the name Sky Trails.”
- “Future planning is underway in the development and launch of new play patterns based on current and emerging trends. The first of this will be seen in September 2025 with the launch of Sky Trails.”
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
