Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- Price Bailey LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's forecasts and projections along with post balance sheet date cash balances, trading performance and sales pipeline show that the company will be able to operate within the level of its cash resources. The directors have considered that they will have sufficient positive cash flow from recurring maintenance revenues and new product sales to enable the business to continue trading. Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months for the date of approval of the financial statements, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The accounting period was changed to align with that of the ultimate parent Company.”
- “All share options were exercised prior to the sale and so none remain at the year-end.”
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. 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
