- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis which they consider to be acceptable for the following reasons. The Company is obligor to the senior debt facilities of Alloy Topco Limited and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") and is party to a Group treasury arrangement therefore the directors consider that the going concern assessment of the Company is dependent on the going concern assessment of the Group. The directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Alloy Parent Limited consolidated financial statements after assessing the principal risks faced and having considered the impact of a severe but plausible downside scenario. The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “On 25 April 2025, the Alloy Parent Limited Group drew an additional $50 million on the same terms as the existing term loan facility, which increased the level of liquidity available to the Group. The Company is obligor in this facility and is party to this treasury arrangement of the Group.”
