- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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.”
Significant events
- “Going forward, the directors are confident that the strong financial position at the year end as reflected in the Balance Sheet stands the company in good stead for the future. The market continues to present challenges going forward, along with uncertainties over costs & inflation and the ongoing implications of Brexit.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
