- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Included within dividends this year is a distribution in specie, relating to the disposal of a property.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
