Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. In assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have taken into consideration all available information relating to the twelve month period from the date of approval of these financial statements, including current and future trading and cash flow forecasts of the Company. The forecasts incorporate the existing facility with Santander. The Directors have received indication from Santander that there is no reason to suggest the facilities will not be renewed when due. The assessment of going concern has been made on the basis of this being renewed. The Directors have performed various sensitivity analysis on their forecasts and are confident on remaining within the headroom on the facility. The current economic climate has not had a significant, immediate impact on the Company's operations, but the Directors are aware that if the current situation becomes prolonged then this may change and reduce the Company's growth forecasts. The Directors have set out plans to help mitigate these risks if they were to arise. Having regard to the above, the Directors believe it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
