- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has net current liabilities of €37,766,000. The company participates in the group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 30 September 2026. The company has also obtained a letter of support from the ultimate parent confirming support to 30 September 2026. The directors have assessed the ultimate parent's ability to provide support and are satisfied that it can do so throughout the going concern period. Accordingly, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
