- Going concern
- 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 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
- “During the period, the Company changed its accounting reference date from 31 March 2026 to 31 December 2025. As a result, the financial statements cover a period of 9 months. This change was made to align the Company's reporting period with that of its parent undertaking.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
