- 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 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
- “In October 2025, the Company became part of a new corporate group following a change in its ultimate ownership. One director remained in office to ensure operational continuity and local governance oversight. This has had no effect on operations. Following the acquisition, the Board's priority has been to ensure a smooth transition, maintain regulatory compliance in Northern Ireland and align the Company's governance and operational practices with those of the wider group while preserving established stakeholder relationships.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
