Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Directors recognise the Company's reliance on financial support from Blenheim Finance Limited in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due, which is not legally binding and therefore support could be withdrawn and the intercompany balance with Blenheim Finance Limited is repayable on demand. This condition indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore its ability to discharge its liabilities and realise its assets in the normal course of business.”
