Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Auditor: Millet Accountants Ltd
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

“The business is well placed to trade in 2025/2026 and has recently disposed of a dormant site in High Wycombe and reduced borrowing and cleared our outstanding overdraft.”
“On 20 March 2025, the company completed the sale of its property at 41-45 Desborough Avenue, High Wycombe, HP11 2RS for a consideration of £1,200,000. This event occurred after the balance sheet date and does not adjust the amounts recognised in these financial statements.”

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
