- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors note the possible impact of the uncertainty regarding the timing and amounts of the upcoming lawsuit on the subsidiary's cash flows indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the subsidiary's and therefore the company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore its ability to realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As Fine Holdings Limited's income is solely from the wholly-owned subsidiary this likewise casts a material uncertainty over the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements to not include the adjustments that would be necessary if the company is unable to continue as a going concern. After careful consideration of the above factors, the directors consider that there is sufficient headroom to enable the subsidiary and therefore the company to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment throughout the forecast period. On this basis, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on going concern basis.”

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
