Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Beldenn Ltd
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The effects of global conflict, high interest and inflation rates as well as political uncertainty were all felt during the financial period, pushing our running costs higher with a reducing stability for future planning.”
- “However, as we move into 2025 many of the economic and socio-political issues that affected the past period are still of concern especially with continued trade tensions between the USA and China which could again change the economic landscape. The effects of numerous unsettling economic events and volatile exchange rates continues to effect the whole economy; but so far activity levels remain high.”
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
