- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed future cash forecasts for the company's activities and believe that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Early indications suggest that 2026 will continue to be a loss-making year following on from losses incurred in the current year. Despite this, the directors are satisifed with the performance of the company, and if necessary can call on the support of the Group, which has strong overall profits and significant net assets and cash reserves. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The directors consider the results for the year to be satisfactory despite the fall in performance. The directors were expecting this drop in performance due to the loss of a large contract.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
