Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Bennett Whitehouse Limited
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

“At the time of approval of the financial statements, the Company is responding to an ongoing enquiry from HM Revenue and Customs into contributions made by the Company into a Remuneration Trust. HM Revenue and Customs have indicated their view that adjustments are required, but at this time it is impractical to give an accurate estimate of the financial effect of these adjustments. The Directors and their professional advisers are of the opinion that no provision for any amounts should be recognised in the financial statements as they strongly believe that no transfer of funds or settlement of any obligation is probable.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
