- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared detailed profit and cash forecasts for the going concern period covering a 12 month period from the date of approval of the financial statements. These forecasts draw on current trading and expectations of growth across different areas of the business and wider group. The directors have also prepared stress tests to model the impact of several potential risks to the business. Based on the above and the finance facilities available to the company through the wider group, the directors are satisfied that the company has more than adequate finance facilities in place to meet all reasonably possible alternative trading and cashflow scenarios and to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors have continued to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In our opinion: the financial statements give a true and fair view... have been properly prepared. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 group's and the parent 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.”

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
