Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “Unfortunately during 2024 our overall revenue reduced in comparison to what was achieved in 2023, the main cause of this reduction was the loss of two large customers, Atkinson Lewis a company we had been trading with for over a decade ceased trading in 2024 and as a result our revenue fell by £542,000 and the other was Lextox a competitor of ours who resolved the issues they had in their own laboratory and commenced processing their own results, although this was anticipated in our budgets it occurred much quicker than expected which caused another reduction in our revenue of £1,030,000.”
- “To compensate for these losses, we pushed harder in the legal sectors and increased our revenue in these sectors by £436,000 combine this with increases from the Sports sector, Export Markets as well as other sales resulted in our revenue overall decreased in the year by £997,000.”
