- 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 to 30 April 2027.”
Significant events
- “The business is not impacted materially by the conflicts in Ukraine or the Middle East and is monitoring the impact that inflation and the current economic climate may have. The external environment remained volatile throughout 2025, with conflicts in the Middle East and the on-going invasion of the Ukraine by Russia. To date these have had limited impacts on the business.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
