Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has considered the Group's budgeted and projected financial performance, including forecasts extending more than two years from the date of approval of these financial statements. These projections reflect a range of scenarios, including stressed environments. The Directors have reasonable belief that along with parent support, the Company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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
