Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Thomson Cooper Accountants
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and at least for the next 12 months. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A capital reduction demerger took place in the year ended 30 September 2024. This was approved by HMRC and saw the two main customers of the company split into separate companies. Pegasus Couriers Scotland Limited retained the Amazon contracts and a new company was set up to operate the UPS contracts.”
- “Since the year end, the trading company has opened a new depot as part of their future growth strategy.”
