- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “On 16 June 2023 the High Court handed down its decision in The Virgin Media Ltd v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited case, which concerned the implications of section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993. Subsequently Virgin Media Ltd filed an appeal, the hearing for which took place on 27 and 27 June 2024 and on 25 July 2024 it was announced that the Court Appeal upheld the High Court ruling. The Court of Appeal's ruling confirms that the requirement to obtain 37 confirmation on rule alterations applies to both past and future service rights. Another legal case is due to be heard at some point in 2025, however the details of this as so far unknown, but this may provide further clarity. The Trustees of the Scheme, with their legal advisers, will investigate the possible implications for the Scheme and that of Glasdon Group Limited.”
