- 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The ownership of the company transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), completing in November 2025.”
- “As part of this transaction the freehold property was sold to the previous shareholder and the inter-company debt owed from the previous parent company, Foray Holdings Limited was settled.”
- “During the year the company sold its freehold property and certain assets to one of its directors at book value.”
