- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company meets it day-to-day working capital requirements through its bank facilities and group borrowings. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance show that the Company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There continues to be supply chain delays of fleet resulting in significant additional costs, however this is easing.”

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
