- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, which cover the 12-month period from the date of signing the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. These forecasts and projections have considered a downside scenario in sales levels; however, management have also identified mitigating actions that could be taken to ensure that the group has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated 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
