- Auditor
- Cooper Parry Group Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the period end the company had a deficit of £27,871k. The deficit is funded by loans from other group companies which will not be called for repayment unless cash flow permits for a minimum period of 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. Republic.com Retail Limited receives support from the wider Frasers Group Plc business. The directors consider with parent company support that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the period, the company exited the Hanley, Aberdeen, Stevenage, Livingston and Bradford store leases and ceased trading from these locations leaving the company with 4 open stores open and trading at the period end.”
- “Following the period end, the company exited the Dundee lease and ceased trading from this location, leaving the company with 3 stores which are open and trading.”

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
