Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102 §1A
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Abridged
- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- UHY Affinia
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The director has assessed whether the going concern basis of preparation continues to be appropriate, based on whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. This assessment has been required in the light of the significant uncertainty around the short to medium term impact of the economic impact of global events. Accordingly, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing this report and thus they adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “After the reporting date, the end-customer contract for the QAir project was cancelled post year-end. The Company acted as a subcontractor to its related party, which was the main contractor on the project, and had satisfied its contractual performance obligations as at 31 December 2024. At that date, the Company recognised a contract asset of £244,198 and an amount of £134,731 had been invoiced to the related party. As the contract cancellation occurred after 31 December 2024, it represents a non-adjusting event.”
