Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“However, as a result of the imminent change of ownership, the Directors have considered the lack of visibility and control over the intent of the Directors of the purchasing entity to continue to support the business and operate it in the same manner post-sale. There is therefore material uncertainty in relation to going concern. Having due regard to these matters, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. However, this matter indicates the existence of a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-08-31 vs 2023-08-31

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
