Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which explains that the group's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continuing financial support from the wider Edmentum group. As disclosed in Note 2, the wider Edmentum group's liquidity arrangements include a revolving credit facility which is due to expire during the going concern assessment period and, at the date of approval of the financial statements, the refinancing or extension of the facility has not been formally agreed.
