- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At 31 March 2025 the company has a strong balance sheet showing net assets of £4,829,163. Taking this and the expected future trading of the company into consideration there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the period end on 30th September 2025, the company repaid in full the existing bank loans and entered into a new financing arrangement on improved terms, comprising a working capital finance facility and a cashflow loan (see note 24 below). The cashflow loan of £0.5m is repayable in monthly instalments up to September 2029, with an interest rate of 4.50% over the Bank of England base rate. The working capital facility of £1.5m expires in September 2027, with an interest rate of 2.25% over the Bank of England base rate.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
