- Affirmed
“After making due enquiries and considering the impact of the macroeconomic environment, geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing cost inflation, the access to funds, potential downside scenarios, cross guarantees with fellow members of the UK Group cash pool, and strength of the ultimate parent undertaking, Veralto Corporation, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation during the assessment period to 31 December 2027. These considerations included the impact of these factors on the company, as well as the wider UK and Veralto Corporation group. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 9th June 2026 Clearmark Solutions Limited paid a dividend of A7,800,000 to Videojet Technologies Limited.”
