Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the revised 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 original financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “The revised financial statements replace the original financial statements approved by the directors on 7 July 2025. They have been prepared under the Companies (Revision of Defective Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 ("the Regulations") and accordingly do not take account of events which have taken place after the date on which the original financial statements were approved on 7 July 2025.”
- “In the original financial statements the printed name of the Director who signed the balance sheet was omitted and so the original financial statements did not comply with the requirements of s444(6) of the Companies Act 2006. These revised financial statements include the printed name of the signing Director on the balance sheet.”
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
