- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “on 24 June 2025, the company was acquired by Fox Brothers Holdings Limited which will enable the company to work with their expansive network and resources, providing significant opportunity to grow and meet the increasing demand for RAP.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
