Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared trading and cash flow forecasts for the 12-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts show that the Group has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecasts take into account some variability of potential outcomes, to an extent which the directors consider represent their best estimate of the future based on the information that is available to them at the time of approval of these financial statements. The directors have also prepared a downside forecast which incorporates certain adverse sensitivities around sales levels and margins which the directors consider the greater risk to cash flows over the period of the forecast. This downside forecast also confirms the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”

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
