Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Dains Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The group and company's base case forecast was prepared, taking a prudent view of trading activity for the current financial year and through to 30 June 2027, this demonstrated that the group and company still had significant cash headroom available whilst operating within the above facility limits throughout the period to and at 30 June 2027. The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the group and company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 30 June 2027 and they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
