“The directors expect the current interest income of the Company to continue funding future operations. They have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months and beyond. Therefore, the directors believe that these elements appropriately support the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements. Additionally, the directors have obtained a letter of support from intermediate parent Suntory Global Spirits Inc, and have satisfied themselves that the parent has sufficient resources to provide support to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the 12 month period from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
