- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The director has prepared a medium term financial plan, including cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The director therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The results for the Company show that turnover has increased by 8% to £18.1m (2024: £16.8m). Profit on ordinary activities after taxation for the year was £165k (2024: £1,385k Loss).”

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
