Material uncertainty over going concern
At 30 September 2024, net current liabilities in the group and parent company respectively were £2,287,537 and £1,802,970. We also draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements which indicates that the group has incurred significant restructuring costs in the year and continues to rely on its bank facility. These matters indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

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
