- Auditor
- Rawlinson & Hunter Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “At 31 December 2023 artwork sales were deferred and recognised in 2024 although full payment in cash had been received during 2023 by a fellow group undertaking and therefore the revenue recognition criteria were met. In accordance with section 10 of FRS 102 corrections to turnover and cost of sales have been applied retrospectively as they are material to the financial statements.”
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
