Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The uncertain economic environment will continue to evolve over the next two to three years. Interest rates are predicted to remain on the rise in the short to medium term. Continued additional costs in managing the businesses will have steep upward pressure on prices.”
• “Apart from the possible difficult growth conditions being experienced by world markets including the impact of inflation on costs including labour costs, there are no other major risks or uncertainty which could have an impact on the group's long term performance.”

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
