- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors are satisfied that they have conducted a robust review of the Company's and of the Group's going concern and have a high level of confidence that both the Company and the Group have the necessary liquid resources to meet their liabilities as they fall due. The Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis is considered to be appropriate for the Company as they have received signed assurances in the form of a letter of support from Hunting PLC, the Company's ultimate parent undertaking, that it will continue to support the operations of the Company for a period of not less than one year from the date of approval of the financial statements and will provide such financing as is necessary to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Consequently, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these 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
