Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“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 foreseeable future. The directors have reviewed detailed forecasts of expected revenues, expenditure, cash flows and compliance with banking covenants as part of preparing the business plans for the group to August 2026. As such, the directors believe that the group will be able to settle its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and therefore consider that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
