- 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 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.”
Significant events
- “On 01 October 2025, the trade and assets were hived over to parent company Cary UK Ltd as part of wider group consolidation. Consequently, the Company ceased its trading activities, and no continuing operations remain. This initiative is expected to enhance operational efficiency.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
