Audit & accounting basis

- BDO UK
- 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 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.”
Significant events
- “Legal Case: Subsequent to year end the company was successful in a claim against various parties and were awarded certain cash balances and assets. In accordance with FRS102, these items are not considered to be adjusting post balance sheet items due to inherent uncertainty as at year end, and have therefore not been incorporated into the balance sheet and profit and loss as at the balance sheet date.”
- “US Tariffs: The Directors are mindful of current events, such as the recently announced proposed changes to US tariffs, including with the UK. The Directors continue to monitor the situation, although the extent, timing and general impact of the tariffs remains unclear at this time. The Directors consider that the company is well placed with regard to the tariffs and potential resultant macroeconomic headwinds, and would not be materially adversely impacted. Factors considered by the Directors include; that the company has no debt and a strong cash balance and so would not be adversely impacted by interest rate increases, that the company's manufacturing base is in the UK, and that the US market, whilst considered strategically important for the future development of the business, currently represents a relatively small proportion of revenue.”

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
