Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Operating profit before sale related costs has decreased from £3.0m (2.9% OPM) on 2023 extrapolated to a loss of £0.3m (-0.3% OPM). This decrease arises from loss of contracts within the public sector.”
- “Our order book decreased over the year from £35.3m to £34.3m.”
