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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as despite the challenges to the wider UK economy we maintain a strong balance sheet and cash balance with no borrowings. The business meets its day to day working capital requirements with its own cash reserves with a cash balance as of 30 November 2025 of £4.5m. Turnover increased in 2024/2025 due to good opportunities coming through our pipelines with some two stage negotiated works and we also secured places on the Procure Partnership framework. Our current secured workload for 2025/2026 is £38m with a further £4m secured for 2026/2027. In assessing the appropriateness of applying the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements, the directors have considered the business liquidity and cashflow forecasts and believe there is sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, Acre 1175 Limited, Buxworth Homes London Limited, 64 Offley Road Limited, 301 Green Lane Limited, and 40 Welcomes Road Limited, wholly owned subsidiaries of the group, were dissolved on 16 September 2025. The directors of Buxton Holdings Limited, a wholly owed subsidiary of the group, submitted an application for the company to be voluntarily dissolved. On 21 November 2025, Acre 1228 Limited acquired 50% of the parent company's issued share capital from existing shareholders. As this transaction occurred after the reporting period and does not relate to conditions existing at 31 July 2025, it is treated as a non-adjusting event under IAS 10.”
