- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to the continued financial support of the Company's owner, who has confirmed their intention and ability to provide such support for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “the group achieved an EBITDA loss for the financial year of £1,186,000 (period ended 30 June 2024: EBITDA loss of £684,000), and had a net liabilities position at 30 June 2025 of £5,083,000 (2024: £3,566,000). The increase in FRITDA loss year-on-year reflects a combination of ongoing investment in the business and some exceptional restructuring costs which materially impacted profits.”

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
