- Affirmed
“In line with the Financial Reporting Council Guidance, the directors have undertaken an assessment to consider the appropriateness of the continued use of the going concern basis of accounting. Both under the base case and downside assumptions, the directors believe the group will be able to operate within the financial headroom for the period to 30 June 2027 and therefore the going concern basis of accounting is considered appropriate. The directors have assessed the ability of Venlaw Road Limited to provide this support and having reviewed the financial position and made suitable enquiries are satisfied that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.”
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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
