Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to Note 1.4 to the financial statements which explains that there is minimal headroom in the December 2025 covenant testing and any plausible reduction in forecast profitability, would result in a potential covenant breach which could trigger a demand for repayment from the bank. As stated in Note 1.4, this event or condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1.4, indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
