- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Whilst the Company is not reliant on funding from the IBG Group to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due, it is currently reliant on the IBG Group for operational support. After making inquiries about the continued availability of the IBG Group operational support and considering the level of liquid capital within the Company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
