Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reasonable expectation that the company and group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. It is not expected that any post year end impact of global interest rate changes will have material impact on the ability of the company and the group to continue in existence given the cash reserves held and expected cash generation. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting and in preparing the 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
