- 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.”

Significant events
- “During the year, the company realigned its operational focus to support its long-term strategic objectives. As part of this process, the company exited three commercial lease clubs and entered into three new education-related partnership agreements, which are aligned with the company's strategy of working in collaboration with partners in the education sector.”
- “Based on directors' assessment, the disposal of gyms is no longer classified as a discontinued operation.”

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
