Audit & accounting basis

- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making suitable enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to year-end, the company initiated a strategic review of its business, which has resulted in a shift of focus toward the Business-to-Business (B2B) operations area. As such the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) activities are being scaled back. The long-term impact of this strategic review on the financial statements cannot be accurately estimated as at the date of approval of the annual report.”
- “Additionally, post year-end, the company successfully completed the acquisition of a UK-based Solar Car Port business for total consideration of approximately £3 million, a move that enhances its B2B capabilities and supports the execution of its growth strategy within key commercial markets.”
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
