Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“In assessing the ability of the company to continue as a going concern, the directors have prepared and considered cash flow forecasts covering the going concern assessment period through to 31 July 2027. These forecasts demonstrate that the company has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
