Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the accounts using the going concern assumption, in doing so they have considered severe yet plausible downside scenarios, more details of which are set out in Note 1 to the financial statements. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Group completed a significant financing event following the year end on 23 October 2025, more details of which are set out in Note 20. All loan facilities outstanding at the balance sheet date were repaid in full and a new loan facility agreed to meet the ongoing funding requirements of the Group.”
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. 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
