Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The principle causes of the reduction in revenue and profitability were a) political uncertainty (as a result of the general election) delaying funding programmes and spending decisions for many public sector entities b) the delay to the commencement of several major projects (where costs had been incurred internally to prepare for the projects) and c) delays in the procurement processes for replacing existing procurement frameworks.”
- “All these factors are considered temporary with underlying demand and market position remaining strong. All factors have subsequently been resolved with much improved trading expected in FY2026.”
