Audit & accounting basis

- Grant Thornton UK LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The current forecast cash flows for the next 12 months shows that the Group and the Company are expected to cover their cost base and generate sufficient cash flows to meet their liabilities when they fall due. This reflects a cautious view of trading activity, including incorporating severe but plausible downside scenarios. Thus the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual 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
