- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecast assumes a relatively modest increase in activity over and above FY25 and indicates that the Business will have adequate financial resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Given this position, and the results across the first two months of FY26, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Due to the current turnover recognition policy revenue and profit are likely to be affected by any unforeseen cancellations, restrictions on travel and consumer confidence to travel though the directors cannot determine at present the extent to which the company is likely to be affected. No other post balance sheet events occurred that can materially affect the Financial Statements.”
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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
