- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having reviewed budgets, cash flow forecasts, pipeline of contracted work, and availability of working capital, the directors believe that the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully, and have formed the judgement that the group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. The Board have carefully modelled the possible impacts on forecasts and cash position. These models show that the company has sufficient working capital reserves to absorb any foreseeable impact and remains able to meet its liabilities for a period of at least 12 months from date of sign off of these financial statements. These forecasts have been prepared on a group basis covering the Arri (GB) Limited group and sister company Arri Cine Technik Limited as working capital is available across the companies. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
