- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At the balance sheet date, the Group's liabilities exceed the assets, arising as a result of the initial capital outlay required for the business model. As the Group continues to trade and grow, the directors anticipate that the Group will be funded through its retained earnings. The entity is backed by its ultimate controlling owner who is committed to supporting the ongoing operations of the Group for the foreseeable future. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. As auditors we have assessed management's evaluation of the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied with the conclusions arrived at.”
