Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Magma Audit LLP (part of the Dains Group)
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate because, in the opinion of the directors, there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. Consequently, the directors have reasonable expectations that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilites as they fall due over the next 12 months from the date of approval of the company's financial statements made up to 31 December 2024 and therefore, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The company has signed a guarantee dated 10 July 2015 in favour of Svenska Handelsbanken AB (Publ) amounting to £44,000.”
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
