Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Forecasts for the years ended 31 March 2026 and 2027 indicate that reserves will cover unavoidable outgoings throughout both years. Therefore, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Hence, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
