Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Abridged: Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
Auditor: Ernst & Young LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“The company has a cash balance of £160,902 at 30 June 2025 and the Directors expect the company to be cash generative for a period to 31 December 2026. Together with the transfer pricing agreement in place and the letter of support from Asics Europe BV the cash position of company is considered sufficient to cover its cash outflows during the going concern period. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

Significant events

“No material events have occurred after the balance sheet date that would require adjustments to or disclosure in the 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
