Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors are of the opinion that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future, being not less than one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. They have formed this opinion after reviewing future forecasts and cash flows. The directors have fully examined potential risks facing the organisation together with a financial impact on working capital, cash flow and profit and loss projections. The company continues to hold a healthy level of reserves to ensure that it has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for the 12-month period following approval of these financial statements. For these reasons, the directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
