Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have performed a going concern assessment... This assessment indicates that the company will continue to be cash generative for the period to 31 July 2027. However, since the Company's activities are solely to provide services to fellow CME Group companies the Company is dependent on both the continuance of operations by the CME Group and also continuing finance being made available by its parent undertaking to enable it to continue operating and to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
