- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have considered the group's flow cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on the company's immediate parent (LTE Group) not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due, which at 31 July 2025 amounted to £1,322,890 (2024: £2,918,045). LTE Group has indicated that it seeks an annual repayment of £543,000 but will not recall this if there are insufficient funds. LTE Group have provided a parental guarantee to 31 July 2028 to demonstrate its ongoing support for the business.”

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
