- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In 2025 Blọc took a major step toward a more sustainable future to reduce our carbon footprint through installing a 100kW EV solar panel system across both our factory and office buildings. Our factory roof is now home to 304 solar panels, and our office roof hosts 49 panels. We've also installed a new electric vehicle charging point to support greener commuting for our team and visitors.”
- “There have been no significant events affecting the Group since the year end.”

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
