Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The company is party to group financing arrangements including a revolving cash facility. The company has received confirmation of support from the group and that intercompany loans will not be repayable ahead of external liabilities. The group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its available cash reserves and banking facilities together with term debt facilities provided to the group by the shareholders. The group's detailed forecasts for the next year and medium term projections based on the current trends in trading, after taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the group will be able to operate within the level of its currently available cash reserves, new banking facilities and related covenants. The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and the company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

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
