Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“A going concern assessment has been performed for the UK Bus Division as a whole, which shows positive operating cashflows for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. ... The directors believe that the likelihood of an extreme downside scenario leading to failure by the company to meet its obligations as they fall due is remote. ... A letter of support has been received from the ultimate parent company, FirstGroup plc ("the group"), that allows for the flow of funds around the group. Therefore, there is the intention to make available such funds as may be required to enable the company to meet its obligations for a period of at least 12 months from signing of the financial statements.”
