Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“After reviewing the group's and company's forecasts and projections and despite the group making a loss in the year, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company have sufficient resources to continue business operations for the foreseeable future. In assessing the going concern basis, the directors have considered a severe but plausible downside scenario in the forecasted cash flows for the period to December 2026. Based on this, the directors believe that preparing the group's and company's financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to sufficient cash reserves within the group. The directors have also received confirmation that Childrensalon Limited will support the company for at least one year after these financial statements are signed. The group and the company therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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
