Audit & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- Goodman Jones LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company uses financial instruments comprising borrowings and various net working capital items such as trade debtors and trade creditors, to finance its operations not funded by way of equity. The main risks identified with using these financial instruments are the management of cash flow and exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The company mitigates this risk by managing cash flow and negotiating credit facilities to assist with liquidity as required.”
- “The company leases office premises under a noncancellable operating lease. The lease commenced on 31 July 2024 and includes a break option in July 2034, with a contractual expiry in July 2039. Annual rent payable is £135,000.”

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
