Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resource to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as evidenced through the profit and cashflow forecasts produced through to February 2026 and on the basis that the directors have a reasonable expectation of re-financing the bank loan falling due for repayment within the next twelve months. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the 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
