- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis. The business remains largely unaffected by the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Having assessed the responses to their enquiries, the Directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt upon the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Directors acknowledge the latest guidance on going concern. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of twelve months from the date of the approval of the financial statements and, therefore, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
