Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks and, after making enquiries including a review of forecasts and scenarios, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performances in the next twelve months and considering the available liquidity, including the banking facility, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next twelve months following the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There has been a fundraise post year end within the group. The impact of this is discussed within the going concern note and director's report but there are no subsequent events relating directly to this entity which require disclosure.”
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
