Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated (group)
- Auditor
- Pierce C A Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Subsidiaries
- Middleton Associates Limited · 100% held · UK · wholesale of beers, wines, spirits and other drinks products
Significant events
- “Following recent years of high turnover and improved profitability in the trading subsidiary, the group has seen a build up of cash. During the year the directors took the decision to use this surplus cash to invest a substantial amount in solar panels, to supply the trading site in a more sustainable manner. Additionally, surplus cash has been used to build a new office and boardroom space.”
- “The group has also been able to continue to invest some of its cash into high interest bearing accounts to take advantage of the current rates of interest.”
- “Post year end the group has continued to trade at similar levels to the current financial year.”
- “Following the year end the group will look to continue to strengthen their performance, utilising the small but committed and loyal team, all of whom are significantly experienced in the industry.”
- “Plans continue to be made for an e-commerce offering of drinks and home bars/events equipment to the public through the group's website, to sell on other e-commerce platforms, and negotiations are on-going for the group to become the UK agent for a variety of brands.”
