Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“A sensitivity analysis has been performed on the forecasts to understand the cash flow projection for an expected base case, a plausible downside scenario and a case that has been reverse engineered to understand when the group would not be able to meet its financial obligations. Based on the forecasts prepared and scenarios tested, the directors believe that the group is well placed to manage its financing and business risks satisfactorily and has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and for at least 12 months from the signing date of these financial statements. They therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 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
