Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Thomas Barrie & Co LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are of the opinion that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis, despite the fact that the Statement of Financial Position is showing a net current liability. The key driver being the hire purchase commitments obtained for the purchase of fixed assets. Overall, the company has a healthy net asset position and will continue to receive support of the parent company, hence, going concern basis of the company is considered appropriate. In forming this opinion, the directors have considered forecasts prepared taking into account the information currently available as well as several severe downside scenarios. The group's balance sheet has strong reserves and trading since the year end has been good, there is no reason to believe that the group's current funding and liquidity position is not sufficient.”
Significant events
- “On 31 December 2025, the Coach division's contract for services operating from the Group depot in Plymouth will come to an end by mutual agreement. The Directors do not envisage significant costs associated with the closure of the Plymouth operations and therefore no provision has been made. The contracts contributed £8.16m of Turnover during the financial year. Vehicles dedicated to these services will be deployed on other operations, offering opportunities to grow private hire and express service business.”
