Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered cash flow forecasts for the group and the company for the period to 30 June 2026 for the purpose of approval of these financial statements. Based on this review, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months following the signing of these financial statements. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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
