- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, in its banking and group cash pooling facility, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”
Significant events
- “In June 2023, the High Court issued a judgement involving the Virgin Media NTL Pension Plan which held that amendments to the plan's rules in relation to benefit changes were invalid in the absence of a confirmation from the scheme actuary under Section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993.”

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
