Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared a medium term financial plan for the period until July 2030, that is, more than four years from the date of approval of these financial statements, which indicate that taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “As part of a voluntary severance (VS) package, one employee's application for VS was approved subsequent to the year end. The total payment falling due under the VS arrangements amounts to £16,457.”
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
