- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that they do not intend to liquidate the Company or the Group or cease their operations, and as they have considered that the Group's and parent company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt over their ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

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
