- Affirmed
“On the basis of continued financial support from related party companies and the Board of Directors, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements, which are not qualified, do not include any adjustments that would result if the company ceased trading, accordingly our opinion is not modified in this respect. 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.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
