- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued access to current bank facilities which are not yet in the form of term loans and bear the normal recall risk of overdraft facilities. However, based on reasonable sensitivities applied to the Company's and Group's forecasts, the board have concluded that the Company and Group will be able to continue to operate within existing facilities for the foreseeable future and have not identified a material uncertainty in this regard. Notwithstanding the ongoing uncertainties, based on forecasts, with significant financial and operational adjustments particularly around cost control, working capital management, and ongoing commitment of support by the principal shareholder, and the Group to not recall amounts due to the principal shareholder or other companies in the Group, the Company's directors, and the Group's board have concluded that the Group and the Company, will remain solvent in the meantime and therefore will continue as a going concern for 12 months following the date of approval of the financial statements.”

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
