Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors are satisfied that the group has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
