- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ernst & Young LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have performed a going concern assessment and concluded there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period for 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the going concern assessment period, for the following reasons. Management of the Company has prepared liquidity forecasts for the purpose of the going concern assessment and have also applied various downside sensitivities. These forecasts and sensitivities have been reviewed by the directors of the Company together with the underlying assumptions. The forecasts show that the Company has sufficient cash and facilities to provide liquidity through the review period. The Company does not have any senior credit facility with external parties and so has no undrawn facilities available to it. Based on the evidence available at the date of approval of these financial statements, including reviewing the facts and circumstances noted above, and the Company's forecasts and downside sensitivities, the directors have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the Company have adequate resources available to them to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, and for 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
