- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Given the existence of the exploitation agreement, the fact the company has positive net assets and because the directors have assessed the funding needs for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and taking account of reasonably possible downsides the company will have sufficient funds to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
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
