Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the directors continue to adopt the going concern assumption in preparing the financial statements. Given the strength of the Company's balance sheet and current operating position the directors consider that the Company is sufficiently resilient to current economic volatility and management is not aware of any other uncertainties that would cast doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the parent Company has also confirmed that it will provide support, where necessary, to all group companies to ensure they can settle intercompany payable balances in full when required to do so, further strengthening the going concern assessment.”

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
