Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Streets Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has received the financial support of the shareholder who has confirmed his willingness to continue to financially support the company for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements. For this reason the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Our expansion since 2019 has been achieved through a suppressed market initially, the market interruption of the Covid -19 pandemic, the Governments stimulation of market activity by the SDLT holiday which resulted in an overheated period of demand followed by a substantial collapse of the market with rising interest rates and restricted borrowing. We continued to expand our capacity, and our business has grown throughout.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
