- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. 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 group's or the parent 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
- “Regent Travel and Regent Tours, which we acquired in early June 2023, have now had a full year under their belt with us and are doing exceedingly well as we spread the Regent Tours product round all of our shops. Their turnover increased by 21% year-on-year after joining us.”
- “On the acquisitions side, we purchased the database and forward bookings of Strachan Travel near Blackpool in November 2024, after the year end, and have made it into our first on-line Spear Travels branch, moving out of their shop in Thornton Cleveleys.”
- “The Budget on 30th October 2024 caused some concerns but we had already anticipated the likely increase in the living wage for April 2025 and actioned it, so that will have minimal impact.”
- “We paid off 2 small CBILS loans this year and we had just one remaining at 30th September 2024. This has now been repaid in February 2025.”
- “The FFE loan was fully repaid in the year.”
- “The Nat West Bank CBIL's loan has been repaid in full in February 2025.”

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
