Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Having considered the Group's forecast financial performance and cash flows, and after making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern. There were no material uncertainties that would indicate the Group will be unable to continue as a going concern.”

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
