Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Group is considered to be a severe but plausible downside scenario which included a sensitivity of an 8% fall in Gross profit after distribution and marketing expenses against forecast. An 8% sensitivity has been taken based on the size of the combined Group and the historical performance of the 'Accolade' stand alone business. Based on this analysis, the Group would continue to trade within the limits of the available funding facilities and within the covenant requirements under the funding facilities in the downside scenario. The Group remains unable to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-06-30

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
