Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“Directors are engaged in discussions with the Council and the Sub-Contractors to resolve the disputes and have reviewed the Company's projected profits and cash flows by reference to a financial model covering accounting periods up to September 2033. If discussions are successful and Deductions remain at pre-dispute levels, Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. However, if the Senior Lender exercises its right to full repayment of the senior debt or if Deductions associated with defects continue at a level similar to or greater than the level between October 2025 and June 2026, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to the risk of insolvency and, in particular, insufficient funds to repay the full senior debt when it falls due.”
