- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In adopting this basis the directors have considered the current financial state of the business and the future trading prospects of the Group. At the time of signing this report the directors have performed a detailed review of the Group's projected cash flows and covenant compliance for the period of at least twelve months from the date of approving these financial statements. The projected cashflows derive from a detailed trading plan which assumes a conservative growth performance and inflationary pressures on costs, whilst also benefiting from new restaurant openings. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and thus they continue to draw up the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
