Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The group prepares projections and cash forecasts on a regular basis. These forecasts take account of reasonable possible changes in turnover and costs for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these accounts and show that the group should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities, particularly given the strong cash reserves in the business. Consequently the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, which is not less than twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis.”

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
