Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“Management has produced forecasts that have also been flexed to reflect plausible downside scenarios. These forecasts have been reviewed by the Directors and demonstrate that the Group is able to generate profits and cash in the year ending 31 March 2027 and that the Group has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. As such, the Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis preparing these 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
