Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the directors have considered all available information about the future, which is at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Given that the majority of revenues and costs are based on fixed contracts, the directors' base case assessment, which is based on board-approved budgets, is that the company is expected to continue to generate operating cash flows sufficient to cover non-discretionary investing and financing cash flows, and as a result to maintain sufficient liquidity, over the forecast period. There are no indications of any events that would result in significant one-off payments of unforecast liabilities for the company. As part of their assessment the directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties of the business disclosed in the relevant section of the Strategic Report. Whilst potentially severe but plausible downside scenarios have been identified the directors have concluded that, based on the mitigations put in place, these risks and uncertainties do not impact the going concern conclusion.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
