- S&W Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. The directors have reviewed the company's going concern position taking into account its current business activities, budgeted performance and factors likely to affect its future performance. Based on the information contained within the accounts and including consideration of the risks associated with the current macro economic climate, the directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “On 27 November 2025 Dvorak Midco 2 Limited sold its entire interest in Dvorak Bidco Limited as part of a consensual group restructuring between all of the institutional stakeholders. The sale was negotiated and finalised after the reporting date of 30 November 2024 and is therefore classified as a non-adjusting post balance sheet event under FRS 102 Section 32.”
- “Between 30 November 2024 and date of signing the financial statements, eight indirectly held subsidiaries were also dissolved. The trade and assets of these entities had already been hived across to the main trading entity in the Group, Babble Cloud Limited.”
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
