Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they fall due. In assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, the directors have taken account of the profit in 2024 of £1,434, the cumulative profits of £11,811 and the Company's net current assets and net asset position of £11,811 at 31 December 2024. The Company's Intermediate Holding Company, APHL has provided the Company with a letter of support indicating its intention to provide the financial support required for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are approved. After making enquiries, considering the Company's forecasts and projections and considering the letter of support received from APHL, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these entity financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
