Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: MHA
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The Directors consider that the Company has sufficient liquid resources, parent support and access to future resources to enable the Company to cover its costs and pay its liabilities for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the Directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

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
