- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group has remained in a net positive cash position throughout the trading year and has not had to draw on any new borrowings. The Group management team have demonstrated, through careful, business planning, that we are able to adapt quickly, proactively, and effectively to the various economic challenges. ... Consequently, after making appropriate enquiries, and taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
