Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Consolidated group
Auditor: Johnston Carmichael LLP
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

2. Gardener's Dream BV 100% · Netherlands · Online retailer of plants and flowers

Significant events

“Challenges in 2024 included cost of living, inflation not meeting BOE targets, and interest rates not falling as expected, impacting the supply chain. Margin was affected by increased marketing spend, while changeable weather and prolonged heavy precipitation negatively impacted sales volume.”
“Volatility in shipping freight impacted product supply costs and stock holding. Container prices, high in 2020-2021, have dropped, but Middle East tensions caused increased supply times. Higher shipping costs affected margin, leading to a decision to reduce exposure in some products and focus on higher-margin lines.”

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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
