Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In assessing whether the going concern basis remains appropriate, the directors have considered the Company's current financial position, recent trading performance, forecast cash flows and the availability of banking facilities. The directors are aware of certain factors which may cast doubt upon the Company's, and by association the Group's, ability to continue as a going concern but despite these pressures the directors remain confident the business will continue to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and that the company has sufficient support and resources available to manage these uncertainties effectively.”
