Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have considered potential uncertainties, including over rental income, the covenants on the company's borrowings, and mitigations available including rental deposits received from tenants.. The Company's ultimate parent, Queen Mary University of London (which has concluded that it is appropriate to prepare their financial statements on a going concern basis) has provided a formal letter of support to the Company, and is also a guarantor on the Company's bank loan. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the next 12 months and have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
