Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe the going-concern basis is appropriate on the basis that the Company is in a net asset position (as at 30 March 2024 the Company had net assets of £4.2m (2023: £3.9m) and made a profit for the year then ended of £272,000. The Directors consider funds available to be sufficient for at least 12 months after the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on both the most likely base case scenario and the downside scenario the forecasts show that the Group is expected to be able to operate within its available facilities over the forecast period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Group and Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
