- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Turnover was £12.9m (2024: £8.3m), an increase of circa £4.6m. The company has made a profit before taxation of £1.7m, an improvement on the previous year with improved profit margins. Turnover and profit have both increased as a result of exploring new and emerging markets.”
- “The company has an outstanding loan receivable of £3,000,000 from a fellow subsidiary undertaking. The loan is unsecured and repayable on demand. In assessing the recoverability of the balance, the directors have considered the financial position and performance of the fellow subsidiary. The fellow subsidiary has continued to incur operating losses, and there is uncertainty regarding its ability to generate sufficient future cash flows to repay the loan in full. Accordingly, an impairment provision of £1,000,000 has been recognised in the profit and loss account for the year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
