- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a 12 month period from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that the Group can operate within its current committed bank facilities and that there is ample headroom on the loan covenants. As a result, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Group structure
- LITTLE FISH (UK) LIMITED · parent
- Storm Technology Limited
Significant events
- “Following the investment made by Bowmark Capital in the Group on 2 September 2022, significant investment was made in the cost base to support growth plans including expanding the senior leadership team, enhancing and broadening capability, and expanding overall operational capacity to support contract wins.”
- “Cash reduced in the year, primarily due to cash utilised by a parent company to service group interest and from investment in a new group subsidiary, Storm Technology Limited.”
