Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Corrigan Accountants Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has significant cash reserves and a strong balance sheet. It has been able to meet its working capital requirements through its own trading and plans to do so for the foreseeable future. The directors, therefore, have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Up until the day of authorisation for issuance, no events took place which would have exerted substantial influence on the net assets, financial position, or result of operations as per December 31, 2024.”
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
