- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have prepared a going concern assessment based on forecasts for a period up to December 2027, including realistic downside scenarios. They have considered the current risks and opportunities facing the Group, and their potential impact on the cash flows expected to be generated. Forecasts have been prepared, which incorporate assumptions about the market in which the Group operates in and key relationships with its customers, and predict the Group will continue to trade in the foreseeable future. The Directors believe that the prospects for the business are positive and that on the basis of these forecasts and assumptions, and on-going trading performance to date, the Group can continue to service its financial obligations as they fall due. The Directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
