Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate due to ongoing profitability of the entity and the continued financial support of the ultimate parent company, Cardinal Health, Inc.”

Significant events

• “The conflict between Israel and Hamas impacts on oil and shipping costs for the UK and European economies... The Directors have assessed the matter and concluded that it will not have a material impact on the entity.”
• “The war between Russia and Ukraine has brought about significant impacts on the UK and European economies... Despite this uncertain scenario, the Directors believe that the Company's solvency and the continuance of its normal activity are not at risk.”
• “The joint Israeli/US strikes on Iran, which now involve other Middle Eastern countries, are expected to cause a short-to-medium term increase in inflation... Despite this uncertain scenario, the Directors believe that the Company's solvency and the continuance of its normal activity are not at risk”
• “The Company can be at risk with the current cost of living crisis impacting global economic activity with UK being impacted. The Directors are assessing any impact this crisis may have on the Company. At the time of signing the Directors do not consider economic crisis to impact the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

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
