- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the underlying assumptions of the plans and cashflows, and the pledged support of the parent company JD Sports Fashion Plc. It is assumed that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet requirements when they fall due and it is expected to generate positive cash flows on its own accounts for the foreseeable future. On this basis, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statement on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 12 June 2025, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the lease agreement for Zetland House was formally extended. The revised lease term now expires on 31 December 2027, with an annual rental commitment of £157,080.”

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
