Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has net current assets of £18,647,000 as of 31 December 2024, which will generate income and/or be realised for the company to meet its liabilities and continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. There is no change in the Company's business in the coming year which is significantly different from its present activities.”

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
