Audit & accounting basis

- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as they have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue to have full and immediate access to its pooled credit facility, the £20m cash injection in January 2024 will not be repatriated as part of any future group facilities, and that group management actions over the assessment period will be sufficient to enable the group to complete on the refinancing package such that adequate financing will remain in place and that the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future.”

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
