Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Alexander & Co LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe that effective controls have been established and have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “As we look at 2025 and beyond, there is outstanding performance in our non-COVID product groups and show solid trends for our core business. We are seeing very positive growth in these product groups, which are the highest priority of our teams as we seek to expand on these. We anticipate ongoing strong demand in these product groups throughout 2025 and beyond.”
