Audit & accounting basis

From AI-extracted PDF accounts

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: ZMS Solutions Limited
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Material uncertainty disclosed
“In forming our opinion on the financial statement, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 1.2 to the financial statements concerning the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company's principal source of finance is the cash injection from directors and shareholders. The company has significant unsecured debts and at the date of this report no finance has been put in place to settle this obligation. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company were unable to continue as a going concern. We consider that this matter should be drawn to your attention but our opinion is not qualified.”
