Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Grant Thornton
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing these forecasts of profitability and working capital requirements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company also has access to adequate funding facilities provided by an intermediate parent company, should they be required. A letter of support is in place. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 28 February 2026, significant geopolitical tensions escalated in the Middle East region. This event arose after the reporting date and is therefore classified as a non-adjusting event under FRS 102 Section 32 Management has assessed the potential implications of these developments and notes that the Company's operations, liquidity, and financial position are not materially impacted as at the date of approval of these financial statements. However, the situation remains fluid, and management will continue to monitor developments and assess any future implications.”
