Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through an intercompany funding facility in place with the ultimate parent undertaking which is managed by the Group Treasury Department. As the Company does not, therefore, fully control its cash flows and its liquidity position, the Directors have received a letter of financial support from DSV A/S that it will provide financial support to the company such that the company is able to operate as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as they fall due. That undertaking will remain in place for the foreseeable future and will not be withdrawn for a period of at last 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements”
