Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Xeinadin Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's immediate and ultimate parent has provided to the company directors a written letter of support confirming that it will continue to support the company and ensure that it has sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation for these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the failure of the company to operate within its available facilities.”
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
