- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After considering the Company's position, the economic environment and the forecasts described above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.”
Significant events
- “In the year ended 30 September 2025 the most significant factors in these considerations were the extent to which uncertainties in the UK economy arising from rapidly rising interest rates, increases in the cost of living and doing business in the UK and the impacts of the continuing conflict were reflected in current customer performance at the period end and were being fully addressed by the Company's provisioning approach.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
