- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Accordingly, the directors consider that sufficient finance is available to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due and it is therefore appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Work on our building renovation project (intended to give us an independent revenue stream) has unfortunately still been "mothballed" during much of the last 12 months of the period but is slowly progressing as time permits, software development still being our main focus.”

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
