Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The net assets of the company have decreased from £3,052,525 for the year end 30 June 2024 to £2,644,439 for the year end 30 June 2025.”
• “The increase in turnover shows the continued strength of the company. This was despite the challenges presented by a slowdown in the leisure sector, in which a significant proportion of the client base operates.”
• “Gross profit margin has reduced from 28.4% to 26.9%.”
• “The average number of employees have increased compared to prior year, therefore the staff costs have increased.”

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
