Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- BDO, Statutory Audit Firm
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There were no events after the Balance Sheet date that would require either adjustment to, or disclosure 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. 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
