Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Management prepares budgets and forecasts which are monitored against actual results. Due to the net current liabilities position of £27.2m (2022 restated - net current liabilities of £22.6m), the directors have received a letter of support from Werner Co., a primary operating entity within the group owned by the company's ultimate parent company. The letter states that Werner Co. will provide funding and support to the company as required to ensure that it can continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being at least for the next twelve months from the approval of these financial statements. In view of the above and having assessed the ability and willingness of this company to provide this support, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue to have adequate resources for the foreseeable future being at least twelve months from the approval of these financial statements. The company therefore continues to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events

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
