- 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 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 decision in 2024 to introduce VAT on private school fees continues to represent a risk, as this has put additional pricing pressures on our customers and caused a decline in our market.”
- “The Company was previously controlled by TR W Horsell and T J James up to 10 October 2024. Following the sale of the Company on 11 October 2024, control passed to Hancock & Gore Limited. As part of a group reconstruction, Global Uniform Solutions Pty Ltd became the immediate parent of the Company on 4 March 2025.”
