Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors believe the going concern basis is appropriate because (i) the company wholly owns the main trading businesses within the Oberon Investments Group, (ii) it is a wholly owned subsidiary of a listed company (Oberon Investments Group plc) and (iii) it has a 100% subsidiary (Oberon Investments Limited) which has a strong cash position. To the extent, the company continues to make operating losses or it invests further in in its subsidiaries, it will need the support of its parent company, which has indicated that support will be available for at least a year from the date of approval of these financial statements and it will not require repayment of the amount due to it by the company for the same period.”

Significant events
- “In March 2025 the group entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to sell a further 14.83% of Logic Investments Limited (reducing the Group holding to 40.38%) for £430k, conditional on FCA change of control approval. If approval is granted, then the profit on disposal in the consolidated financial statements would be about £135k. This transaction has not been reflected in these accounts because of the conditional nature of the agreement.”

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
