Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to assess the Group and Company's ability to continue to trade as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In undertaking this assessment, the directors have given due consideration to the Group's banking facilities, historical and current trading, together with the forward-looking projections and have undertaken scenario modelling considering risks to going concern. The Group has also considered other factors that may affect going concern such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and other geopolitical events, rising prices, inflation, and interest rates. These are not considered to present a material risk to the Group at this stage. Overall, the Group and Company are forecasting cash balances to continue to be healthy. The directors take a prudent view on cash projections when proposing dividends to be paid. The directors have reviewed the forecasts and financial models and based on their best assessment believe that the Group and Company will have sufficient financing in place to ensure cash flow requirements are satisfied for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As such, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. Consequently, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group or Company were unable to continue as a going concern.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
