Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's forecasts and projections taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current resources. Given this, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “We are not entirely focused on generating profit. We also like to reach out to people or causes that need our help and as such, in the last financial year, we have given to local and national charities, donations totalling £36,747 (2024 - £5,833).”
- “In August 2021, the shareholders of Reilly (JDM) Holdings Limited sold a 29% shareholding to the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). HMRC has subsequently opened an enquiry into the valuation used for this transaction. If HMRC concludes that a lower valuation should have been applied, an employers' national insurance charge may arise on the difference between the valuation adopted in August 2021 and any revised valuation determined by HMRC.”

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
