- 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 current accounting period has been shortened from 30 April 2025 to 31 December 2024 for strategic reasons.”
- “The company's stocks were included in the balance sheet as at 30 April 2023 at £2,734,813. We were not appointed to act for the company until after 30 April 2023 and thus did not observe the counting of physical stock at the end of that year. We were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence concerning the quantities of stock at 30 April 2023 using alternative audit procedures.”

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
