Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements after assessing the principal risks and considering the impact of various downside scenarios to the Company's base case financial plans, including latest sales expectations and profit margins for the period to June 2026. The Board expects the Company to have sufficient financial and other resources to continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future, but in reaching that conclusion the Board has undertaken a series of sensitivity analyses based on the Company not achieving its base case sales forecast. Reverse stress testing suggests that, absent specific actions to reduce costs, working capital and capital expenditure, the Group may need to seek further funding only if revenues fell by more than 25% compared to forecast. Given trading momentum this financial year has so far continued to be strong, the Board considers this scenario to be unlikely.”
