- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the period-end, a total of 12 branches were closed before the signing of the financial statements. These closures are considered non-adjusting events under FRS 102 Section 32. The financial effect cannot be reliably estimated at this time due to ongoing negotiations and uncertainty over termination costs.”
