Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Governors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For the long-term finance of the Group's assets the Group continues to rely on its long term borrowing from its bank. In addition, The Group continues to receive support from Lloyds Bank and have an agreed revolving borrowing facility of £350,000 to assist with short-term cashflow requirements, if required. After making appropriate enquiries, the Governors consider that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and it is therefore appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing 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
