Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Auditor
- Grant Thornton UK LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“the Board has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern assessment period, being 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, notwithstanding the fact that it has net liabilities of £21,875,000 at 30 September 2024 (2023: £27,677,000). Accordingly, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, in October 2024, KPMG LLP and the KPMG International member firm in Switzerland merged their previously independent practices. As a result of the merger, a new UK limited liability partnership, KPMG Holding LLP, became the company's ultimate controlling party.”
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. 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
