Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- MHA Audit Services LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As part of the going concern review, the directors have reviewed the wider group's forecast cash flows, liquidity, borrowing facilities and related covenant requirements. This included an assessment of the impact of principal risks and uncertainties faced by the group and those specifically brought about by the ongoing effects of the pandemic and associated supply chain risks. The directors reviewed and approved the forecasts produced by management including reverse stress testing. The forecast performance demonstrates that the group has sufficient cash reserves and available headroom under its banking and shareholder facilities and is forecast to remain in compliance with its financial covenants for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts. Accordingly, there is a reasonable expectation that the group will have adequate resources to manage its ongoing financial commitments and continue to operate for the foreseeable future and as such the financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting.”

Significant events
- “In June 2024, it was decided to fully impair a financial analytics software as it was deemed to no longer provide future economic benefit to the business. The total value of the impairment was £39,154.”
- “In December 2024, after appropriate consideration and discussion, management determined that there are more economically viable third party alternatives to the IDT product lines and so the business would cease developing and selling those products. The amounts held on the group's balance sheet were impaired to £35,584 to reflect the future economic benefit of those assets.”
- “Included within other debtors are director loan balances of £nil (2023: £38,636) which are unsecured, interest free and repayable on divestiture of each director's shares in Aura Futures Group Holdings Limited.”

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
