- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the anticipated business activities of the Company, its cash flows and capital position for a period of 12 months from the date of these accounts. They believe that even in the event of falling markets and without further growth the company can continue to trade profitably from an EBITDA perspective and will continue to generate cash surpluses after interest payments. The Company maintains sufficient facilities to cover its short and long-term liabilities. This assessment has been stress tested for lower than anticipated revenues. Therefore, the directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources for the near future and for this reason continue to adopt the Going Concern basis in preparing the financial information. The Company may receive financial support from its ultimate owners if required.”
