- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources for the foreseeable future and determined that while the use of the going concern basis is appropriate there is a material uncertainty as disclosed below. In the scenario where the Group is disposed of by Mobico Group plc during the twelve month period from the date of approval of these financial statements, whilst the letter of support states Mobico Group's intention to support the Group up until the date of disposal, it is reasonably possible that the disposal will complete within this period. Therefore, this creates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern under this scenario and therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business should the Group be sold within the going concern period. This is because beyond the date of disposal, ongoing support from Mobico Group plc would cease, and the Group would be reliant on the willingness and ability of any buyer to continue to finance the Group going forward.”
