Auditor
Bennett Brooks & Co. Limited
Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company has net current liabilities, which are principally due to the presentation of amounts due to fellow subsidiary undertakings as current liabilities, given they are technically repayable on demand and have no fixed repayment terms, together with the non-cash deferred income balance. The Company has received confirmation that these balances will not be called in for the foreseeable future and until the company is in a position for them to be repaid. The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its bank facilities and intercompany borrowings. The Company's projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-01-31 vs 2023-08-31

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
