“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the previous period, the Company changed its accounting period and presented results for the 9-month period ended 31 May 2024, and so the comparative information presented in these financial statements is therefore not entirely comparable.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
