Watchouts
Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating
-
Material uncertainty over going concern
there can be no certainty that the SSF maturity is successfully extended to beyond the forecast period or that if the forecasts are not substantially achieved, additional financial support from the shareholder is made available. In that unlikely scenario, there can be no certainty of alternative sources of financing being found, and this represents a material uncertainty over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
