- Audit opinion
- Disclaimer of opinion
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On this basis, the Directors of the Company believe it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company was acquired by the current shareholders in October 2024.”
- “During the year, the Company recognised exceptional income of £2,471k (2024: £nil). This income arose as a result of the settlement of an invoice financing arrangement in connection with the purchase of the Company.”
- “An error has been noted in the presentation of invoice discounting transactions in the prior period. These transactions were incorrectly reflected on a net basis rather than a gross basis. As a result of the acquisition and subsequent change in management during the period, and the lack of supporting documentation, it is impracticable to determine the gross debtor and creditor position as at 31 December 2024.”

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
