Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through its available financing facilities. Whilst the current general economic conditions continue to create general economic uncertainty, the Group is seeing increased demand for their services and products. In making their going concern assessment, the directors have prepared monthly cashflow forecasts and projections to 31 December 2026. After reviewing the Group and Company's forecasts and projections, even allowing for the impact of severe but plausible downside scenarios, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group and Company therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing their financial statements.”

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
