Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Hazlewoods LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 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.”
Significant events
- “The company has chosen to early adopt the amendments to FRS 102 issued in September 2024. The amendments to FRS 102 have revised the accounting for leases which has had the following impact: Right of use assets as at 31 March 2025 - £1,228,810 (on transition as at 1 May 2024 - £1,304,044) Lease liabilities as at 31 March 2025 - £1,236,386 (on transition as at 1 May 2024 - £1,304,044) Impact of profit and loss account for the period 1 May 2024 to 31 March 2025 - loss of £40,576. The amendments to FRS 102 have introduced changes to revenue recognition policies and fair value measurement requirements. The company has early adopted these amendments with them having no impact on the financial statements.”
- “During the reporting year Ocean Community Services has been focusing upon enhancing our current environmental and carbon management programmes. We have actively retrofitted and are continuing to retrofit our sites with LED lighting upgrades and more efficient boilers to lower our overall energy consumption and increase efficiency. To compliment these upgrades, we have installed improved weatherproofing, insulation, and undertaken replacement of windows and doors to further improve heat retention and energy efficiency.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
