- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account its stable and recurring rental income, consistently high occupancy levels, and the availability of existing banking facilities. The Group's revenue profile is longstanding and predictable, and cash flows, financing commitments and covenant compliance are monitored on a regular basis. In view of these factors, and the strength of the Group's asset base, the directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
