- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that for the foreseeable future the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors performed an assessment in relation to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, this included assessing its current financial position and reviewing future cash flow forecasts with considerations to entity specific factors. Accordingly, the Directors believe in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and as minimum for a period of twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The operating loss recognised during the year primarily reflects the implementation of a comprehensive exit strategy, which resulted in a number of unforeseen costs to the LLP. As the development was fully sold out during the period, there was no opportunity to offset these additional costs through increased revenue.”
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. 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
