- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Under the combined severe but plausible scenario, prior to mitigating actions within the control of management, the forecasts indicate that there is limited headroom on liquidity in certain months, however there is sufficient headroom on all financial covenants in the going concern assessment period. The Directors of JFS are confident that they have a number of controllable mitigating actions that could be implemented should the combined severe but plausible scenario materialise to address the limited headroom on liquidity, predominantly from reducing discretionary spend on non-critical projects. Accordingly, the Group consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
