- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis. The directors note the net current liability position of the company and have reviewed likely future developments. At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these accounts. This basis is considered appropriate as the ultimate parent company has confirmed that it will provide the support to enable the company to meet their forecast liabilities as they fall due.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
