- 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.”
Significant events
- “The Company, which was formerly registered as a public company re-registered as a private company on 14 January 2025 and later than month changed ins accounting period so as to end on 31 January 2025. Artisan Brandt Ltd is a private company limited by shares, registered and incorporated in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The re-registration took time, causing the directors to extend the financial year end to 31 January 2025. The accounts represent a reporting period of 17 months and therefore the reported figures are not comparable.”
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
