Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“On the basis of their assessment of the Group's financial position, and based on current cash flow projections and the Group's banking facilities, having given consideration to various outcomes of future performance and forecast capital expenditure, including downside scenarios, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue operating until at least 31 December 2026. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis and are of the view that there are no material uncertainties regarding the Group's going concern status.”

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
