Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to note 1 (b) in the financial statements, which indicates that the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as they expect that adequate financing will be in place principally provided by parental support as necessary and that the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. However, a formal letter of support has not been provided by the parent. As stated in note 1 (b), these events or conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-27 vs 2023-09-29

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
