Audit & accounting basis

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company has net current assets of £10.1m (2024: £18.1m) at the period end date and has traded profitably for the last year. The board's projections for the short and long term indicate this trend will continue and the business will continue to be cash generative for a minimum of 12 months for the date of signing of these statements. The directors therefore consider that a going concern basis is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “There have been no events after the balance sheet date which would give rise to any changes in the figures presented in these financial statements or that require disclosure under FRS102.”
- “There have been no events since the balance sheet date which would impact any of the figures reported or the status of the company or that require disclosure under FRS102.”

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
