- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group meets its day-to day working capital requirements through its cash holdings. The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate comfortably within the level of its current cash reserves. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group 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
