- Audit opinion
- 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.”

Credit score

SAFE
Altman Z″
- Working capital / Total assets 0.595 × 6.56 = +3.90
- Retained earnings / Total assets 0.000 × 3.26 = +0.00
- EBIT / Total assets 0.143 × 6.72 = +0.96
- Book equity / Total liabilities 1.682 × 1.05 = +1.77
Bands: > 2.6 safe · 1.1–2.6 grey · < 1.1 distress. Z″ is a public-formula baseline, not a substitute for adverse-data signals (CCJs, charges, gazette notices) — those land in a later pass.
