“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Since 2013 the Company has been engaged in a UK intergroup cash pooling arrangement. As a result, its cash during the year has been converted into an intercompany loan with a fellow group undertaking.”
- “The UK sponsors also agreed a similar arrangement for the ML Scheme to take a £36,157,000 interest in an asset-backed contribution arrangement— the MPS ABC Limited Partnership (the 'MPS ABC'), following receipt of a contribution of the same amount from Etex (Exteriors) UK Limited on 28 March 2018. The agreement provides additional covenant support for the Scheme. As with the EPP ABC, the MPS ABC releases to the Scheme of £843,000 each quarter with the last payment made by 31 December 2032.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
