- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company continues to trade profitably. The lack of long-term lease obligations on office space mean that the Company has relatively low long term fixed overheads and so can respond rapidly to any significant downturn in business to protect profitability. In the light of this the Directors have no hesitation in preparing the accounts on a Going Concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Revenue is down 7% and gross profit is down 11% from the prior year. This drop is driven by tougher conditions in the UK economy resulting in increased pressure on company's training budgets.”
- “Dividends of £1,505,000 were paid in the year (2024: £Nil).”
- “Despite tough trading conditions the company has a healthy year-end balance sheet both in terms of net assets and available cash.”
- “The Company will continue to deliver high quality IT and management training courses as well as developing new courses to cover fresh developments in each sector. Cybersecurity and Al are notable areas with growth potential.”
