Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“As part of their ongoing review of going concern the directors have recently undertaken a thorough review of the forecasts of the company and group, including cash flow projections for the company and group to 30 June 2027 as well as associated risks and sensitivities, to ascertain the working capital and funding requirements of the company and the group. From this review, the directors have concluded that the company and group will have sufficient resources, without the need for additional finance beyond that already available, to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-06-30

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
