- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In reaching this conclusion, they have prepared trading forecasts for the period to 31 December 2026 and are satisfied that the company has sufficient financial resources to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. It is noted that the company is a member of the Axalta group cash pool arrangement meaning that additional funds can be made available to the company as and when required. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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
