Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared forecasts, including cash flow forecasts, for the period to 30 November 2026. The group are forecasting a loss for the year ended 30 November 2025, but profitable in the final quarter, and for the year ended 30 November 2026. After reviewing the group's forecasts and having renegotiated the repayment terms attached to the loan notes, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The market remained challenging in the period immediately after the year end, with performance improving at a slow rate. Whilst uncertainties exist in the business environment, the group remains confident in its ability to manage these challenges effectively. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
