Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. The Company's ultimate controlling party is Oxford City Council and is a key component in the Council's strategy to provide socially rented housing to the Oxford area. Budgets and forecasts are monitored constantly and approved by the Board. Having regard to the Company's existing working capital position and its ability to raise financing, if required with the support of Oxford City Council, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company has adequate resources to enable it to undertake its planned activities over the next twelve months from the date of sign off of these financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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
