- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have made enquiries and reviewed the group forecasts for the going concern period of 12 months from the date the financial statements are approved for issue, and have also considered a group longer viability period to December 2030 which include assessment of covenants, and in light of the facilities available, have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities for at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts. Assessment includes scenario modelling of not being able to borrow an additional £200m bond, which did not impact the going concern assessment. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
