- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors having assessed the responses of the directors of the parent company, Bugler Group Limited, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Bugler Developments Limited to continue as a going concern. As a result, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
