Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Chadwick & Company (Manchester) Limited
- 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 foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, which are shown on pages 9 - 21.”
Significant events
- “Global markets have experienced significant levels of uncertainty in the last few years, which has affected most sectors and businesses. After careful consideration of market conditions throughout the year, the key financial risk that the directors have identified for the next financial year is that projected turnover growth is not achieved, resulting in lower profits and cash flows than anticipated.”
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. 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
