Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“Management has produced forecasts that have also been sensitivity tested to reflect plausible downside scenarios which have been reviewed by the directors. These demonstrate that the company is forecast to generate profits and cash in the year ending 31 March 2026 and beyond, and that the company has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.”
