- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company keeps a tight control over all expenditure and is funded by its parent, Zinnwald Lithium Plc, which has provided an ongoing letter of support. The Zinnwald Group had a cash balance of €2.7m at the year-end (€1.8m at date of this report along with the up to €1.9m of additional funds in the form of a research allowance tax credit to be received later in 2026) and keeps a tight control over all expenditure. Direct Project development spend is inherently discretionary and the Board maintains an ongoing strategy to enable the curtailing of a number of areas of expenditure to enable it to meet its minimum fixed costs for the next 12 months, even without raising further funds, whilst still maintaining all licenses in good standing. Thus, the Directors, having considered all reasonable possible scenarios, believe that the Group continues to be a going concern and have used this as the basis of accounting in preparing these 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
