Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Richard Place Dobson Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group made a loss for the year and has net current liabilities at 31 March 2025. As the result of the contiruing losses, the directors have undertaken a review of the group's operations and identified potential cost savings and property disposals to improve cash flow. The Group's bankers have also agreed to continue to provide overdraft facilities and, if necessary, certain shareholders have agreed to provide, limited financial support to meet day to day running costs for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements in the event those cost savings and property disposals are delayed or deferred. Given the above, and the level of current cash reserves, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As a result, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual Jinancial statements.”

Significant events
- “The sudden onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 resulted in a significant increase in the number of deaths. The disruption to the underlying UK health protection regime caused by the lockdowns and reduction in traditional cold and flu epidemics has also changed the nature of the UK death rate. This has been further exacerbated by the disruption to healthcare provision and access to various treatments as covered extensively in the UK press. We anticipate that this will continue to have an effect on the prevailing national death rate for the medium term.”

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
