- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Whilst-the UK macroeconomic environment has been volatile, the company has remained profitable. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The provision relates to the removal of specific digital screens in Cardiff (£35,000) and Leeds (£50,000). These provisions have been created as BlowUp is obliged to pay for the removal of the sites once the contract has been satisfied. There is therefore a present obligation and a probable outflow.”
- “The Company continues to develop new advertising locations and complete contract negotiations with landlords and municipalities.”
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
